A nurse is caring for a 9-year-old client at a clinic. Exhibits The nurse should determine that the assessment findings are consistent with which of the following conditions? For each potential condition, click to specify if the assessment findings are consistent with a sprain, a fracture, or a dislocation. Each finding may support more than 1 condition.

Pain level: 4/10 is consistent with sprain, fracture. Both injuries can produce moderate pain; dislocations often cause more severe pain initially. Ecchymosis (bruising): Present on the forearm is consistent with fracture and sprain. Dislocations may have minimal bruising especially around the dislocated joint. Sensation (mild tingling, fingers slightly cool): Consistent with fracture and dislocations. Nerve or vascular compromise can occur with fractures; less common with a simple sprain where the neurovascular status is intact. Dislocations may compress nerves causing paresthesia. Edema (swelling of forearm and fingers): Consistent with fracture, sprain, and dislocation. Swelling occurs due to tissue injury; dislocations can also swell but typically localized around the joint.
