Question 1 of 5

What four further assessments of the leg injury are needed?

Correct Answer: C,D,E,F

Rationale: Assessing the range of motion of a severely injured leg is not appropriate during initial evaluation. Movement can worsen the injury or disrupt stabilizing measures such as splints or dressings. Asking the patient to stand or bear weight risks further injury and is contraindicated in cases of visible deformity or massive bleeding. Evaluating skin color helps identify potential ischemia, vascular compromise, or inadequate perfusion. Pallor or cyanosis can indicate significant circulation issues needing urgent care. Paresthesia (tingling or numbness) reflects nerve function and can reveal nerve damage or compromised blood flow, necessitating thorough evaluation. Pain assessment is crucial for identifying the severity of injury and potential complications such as compartment syndrome. Pain disproportionate to the injury suggests complications. Palpating pulses assesses blood flow, ensuring the presence of distal perfusion. Absent or weak pulses require urgent vascular intervention to prevent tissue necrosis.
