You are assisting a 32-year-old woman whose right leg has been amputated below the knee. She is complaining of severe pain in her right thigh. You note that the knee is flexed and that there is some deformity in the middle of the femur. Your partner hands you a HARE traction splint. Which of the following statements would be your best response to your partner?
a. We will need to adapt the boot hitch in order to secure it to the end of the leg.
b. Let's use a Quick Splint instead.
c. The HARE won't work. We will need to be creative and make our own traction device.
d. We need to force the knee to straighten and then we can use a splint.
Question 2
It is a cold, snowy Saturday afternoon, and unfortunately the chair lift has broken and a lift evacuation is required. You know that there is an adaptive skier group somewhere on the lift. As you prioritize the lift evacuation, you recognize that:
a. athletes with mobility problems are at increased risk of cold-exposure injuries.
b. someone will need to instruct paraplegic skiers on how to detach themselves from the sit-ski so they can be lifted out for the evacuation.
c. a blind skier's guide should be evacuated before the blind skier so that the guide can direct the blind skier down.
d. skiers with intellectual disabilities should be left to the end because they will take a long time to understand your directions.
