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
