Problem: A 17-year-old motorcyclist was admitted to the ED for an injury to his left leg. What should have been done in the case of the patient with compartment syndrome? How would you have responded as the nurse and why? He complained of severe pain in his left knee and numbness in his left foot. The nurses were unable to find a pulse in the left leg or foot. The physician issued a discharge order and gave instructions that included the application of ice and elevation of the affected leg. The next day the man sought emergency care at another hospital for worsening pain and swelling of his leg. An examination revealed a lacerated popliteal artery and dislocated knee. He underwent extensive surgery and suffers permanent impairment of the affected limb.
