Chapter 9, Problem 1CTQ
Katie loves pretending that she's a human cannonball. As she jumps off the diving board, she assumes the proper position before she pounds into the water: head and thighs tucked against her chest; back rounded; arms pressed against her sides while her forearms, crossed in front of her shins, hold her legs tightly folded against her chest. Use the proper anatomical terms to describe the position of Katie's back, head, and free limbs.

Andy, a 55-year-old, 75 kg (165-pound) roofer, is shingling the steeply pitched roof of a new house when he loses his footing and slides down the roof and over the edge, feet first. He braces himself for the fall, and when he hits the ground, he cries out and doubles up in excruciating pain. Emergency medical technicians called to the scene tell him he has broken his hips. Describe, more specifically,where his fractures most likely occurred.On the way to the hospital, Andy says,“You know it’s funny, when I was a kid,I used to jump off roofs that high, and I never got hurt.” Why do you think Andy was more at risk of a fracture as an adult than he was as a boy?

- Proper positioning is critical to the prevention of pressure injuries and contractions. When the patient is in the supine position with knees bent for prolonged periods of time, what is a common contracture that you want to prevent? ( assume hips are in a neutral position)arrow_forwardAngus is an 18-year-old young adult, who is riding his skateboard in a city park. He is not wearing protective gear, including a helmet. When a friend distracts his attention, he runs head-on into a planter and is thrown over the planter box onto the concrete, landing on his left side. He immediately experiences pain in his left side, left wrist, and abdomen. His left wrist is angulated and obviously broken.A head-to-toe assessment demonstrates small, superficial scrapes on the patient's forehead and left cheek. His facial structures appear to be intact. Neurologically, he is normal, with a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of 14. He has no complaints of shortness of breath, and his chest wall shows no obvious external injury. An x-ray of his left wrist shows a comminuted fracture of his left radius and ulna.Angus is taken to the operating room for orthopaedic repair of his left wrist. After surgery, he is admitted to the orthopaedic floor with orders for pain medication as needed.Q1.…arrow_forwardLabel the following numbers: 23, 25, 26 & 27 of the torso in anterior viewarrow_forward

He held it limply at his side with his forearm and hand pronated. During questioning by the physician, he stated that he had been thrown from his motorcycle approximately 2 weeks previously and that he had hit his shoulder against a tree. He also recalled that his neck felt sore shortly after the accident. Physical Examination: On examination it was found that the patient was unable to flex, abduct, or laterally rotate his arm. In addition, he lost flexion of the elbow joint. A lack of sensation was detected on the lateral surface of his arm and forearm. The physician requested radiographs of the cervical and pectoral girdle regions. Radiology Report: No fractures are seen in the cervical region, pectoral girdle, and proximal part of the humerus. Diagnosis: Injury of nerves derived from the brachial plexus. Using your anatomical knowledge of the nerve supply to the upper limb, discuss the…arrow_forward

What measurements would you take? What position should the patient be in for measurement? When you measured their upper leg from the popliteal fold (back of the knee) to the back of the hips/chair, the length was 23 inches. To check the measurement, you also measured their lower leg length from their heel to their popliteal fold, and the length was 20 inches. What is the discrepancy? What could be the reason for the discrepancy? What position could you place the patient in to re-take the measurement so that you will not run into this same problem?arrow_forward
