A 28-year-old athlete is admitted to the emergency department after a skiing accident, with severe pain in his left lower leg, inability to bear weight, obvious deformity of the left tibia, swelling, and pain rated 9/10. What is the most appropriate initial nursing intervention?
A 45-year-old construction worker presents to the emergency department after falling approximately 8 feet from scaffolding at a construction site. He reports severe pain in his right lower leg and states he cannot put any weight on it. Physical assessment reveals obvious deformity of the right tibia, swelling, and the patient rates his pain as 9/10.
1Apply ice directly to the skin over the fracture site
2Immobilize the extremity and maintain proper alignment✓ 정답
3Encourage the patient to attempt weight-bearing to assess mobility
4Administer oral pain medication immediately
해설
Immobilizing the extremity and maintaining proper alignment is the most appropriate initial intervention to prevent further injury, reduce pain, and minimize complications like compartment syndrome. Other options (direct ice, weight-bearing, oral meds) are contraindicated or less immediate.
