Study Notes

Muscle Strain, Sprain, and Soft Tissue Injury Management

Muscle strain is an excessive stretching of muscle, fascial sheath, or tendon, classified into first, second, and third degree based on severity
Clinical manifestations of sprains and strains include pain, edema, bruising, and decreased function
Nursing management involves health promotion, warm-up exercises, and R.I.C.E. (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) protocol for emergency management
Emergency management assessment includes inspection, palpation, neurovascular assessment, and subjective data
Interventions for soft tissue injury include stopping the activity, applying ice compresses, compression, elevation, and medication for pain/muscle spasms/inflammation
Muscle relaxants like cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril) cause skeletal muscle relaxation and have adverse effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, and gastrointestinal effects
Nursing considerations for patients receiving muscle relaxers include monitoring vital signs, level of consciousness, and assisting with ambulation
Topical analgesics like Diclofenac (Voltaren emugel) and Capsaicin topical preparations can be used for pain management
Dislocation is a complete displacement of a bone from its normal position within a joint, while subluxation is a partial displacement
Joints most affected by dislocations and subluxations include thumb, elbow, shoulder, hip, and patella
Clinical manifestations of dislocations and subluxations include deformity, local pain, tenderness, loss of function, and swelling of the soft tissues surrounding the joint
Nursing and collaborative management of dislocations consider it an emergency situation
