Scenerio

Published

Hello Nurses,

I have a scenario, give me an answer.

I found Mrs A on the floor near her bed in her room fallen down, she is lying on her back in a straight lying position.

She complains of lower back pain, I need to assess hee for fracture or dislocation before moving her.

What are definitive signs and symptoms of a fracture and a dislocation in this scenario?

I checked her neurovitals, results are normal.

Hi! (From one of us.)

What?! No foreplay?

I hear it's a dying art haha

Your response made my day lol

Sorry to break up the fun, but can someone tell me what the devil neurovitals are? Is that a term for a neuro check?

At least they are honest about the fact that they want the answer instead of asking for help without putting in any effort.

It's always good to get straight A's, isn't it?

Yes. First assess her "hee" and then assess her "haw".

Wait a minute- what do I get if I give the right answer?

Heck, if neurological checks are normal, call a rapid response, she'll be placed on a backboard, taken to radiology, and the radiologist will determine if she has a fracture!

Oh-BTW: Welcome to AN.com, Raj!

I think my laughter just woke up my 4 yr old!! :roflmao:

Agreed! Too many post their questions and expect answers to be given freely with no work on their part, but don't outright say it and try to deny it if someone calls em on it! So points for honesty here! But, maybe it wouldn't hurt to say please! ;) I'm actually pretty surprised how quickly someone posted an answer too!

But the responses gave me a good laugh! So thank you for that! :)
