what is the early indicator among the 5Ps
pain
what site is most susceptible for pressure injury
lower extremities
Patient reports painful “hotspot” and tightness
pressure injury
muscle atrophy and loss of
strength
disuse syndrome
the application of pulling force to a part of the body
traction
accomplished by bringing the bone fragments into anatomic alignment through manipulation and manual traction
closed reduction
common orthopedic surgical
procedure used to treat severe fractures
open reduction internal fixation
describes the clinical manifestations that occur when fat emboli enter circulation following orthopedic trauma
fat embolism
A time-sensitive surgical emergency is characterized by the elevation of pressure within an anatomic compartment that is above normal perfusion
pressure
acute compartment syndrome
Acute compartment syndrome is managed by maintain the extremity at _______ level, not above the _______
heart; not above head
healing of fractured bone in a misaligned (deformed) position
malunion
rigid external immobilizing device that is molded to the contours of the body
cast
the MAINSTAY OF TREATMENT for many fractures as it provides a protected environment for bone healing to occur
CASTS
uses a pulling force to promote and maintain alignment to an injured part of the body
TRACTION
the physical therapist instructs the patient to lean forward and allow the affected arm to hang in the abduction and rotate
PENDULUM EXERCISE; humeral neck
