Barbara Joley was in the bus that was hit broadside. When she was freed from the wreckage, she was deeply cyanotic and her respiration had stopped. Her heart was still beating, but her pulse was fast and thready. The emergency medical technician reported that when Barbara was found, her head was cocked at a peculiar angle and it looked like she had a fracture at the level of the C2 vertebra. The following questions refer to these observations.
Assuming that Barbara survives, how will her accident affect her lifestyle in the future?
Barbara survived transport to the hospital and notes recorded at admission included the following observations.
Right thorax compressed; ribs 7 to 9 fractured
Right lung atelectasis
