Joe went to the emergency room where he complained of severe pains in the lower right quadrant of his abdomen. What might be his problem?
Paramedic and Ski Patrol member Sean brought Jamie into the emergency room and began to examine her. He quickly removed her ski boots, checked the dorsalis pedis pulse, and told her to take off her parka; an assistant brought blankets and hot chocolate. At that time Jamie was not experiencing intense pain, but she was shivering uncontrollably. The pain was relatively localized to the medial surface of her right knee, and the knee was already considerably swollen. He indicated that there was probably damage to a ligament or two. Jamie was then moved to the Mountain-Top Clinic for further evaluation. Jamie was instructed to remove her parka.  Which of the following is the best reason for her to remove her parka? Why was she shivering? Why was her knee swollen? Sean removed Jamie's ski boots so that he could check her dorsalis pedis pulse.  Which of the follow best describes where this pulse would be taken? What was the purpose of Sean wanting to check Jamie's dorsalis pedis pulse?
