From the reading of chapter 3 Mary’s
rollerblading injury. Getting the patient history and information prior to what
happened during the event is extremely vital knowledge information the
radiographer and radiologist to know in Mary’s case as she stated she was
rollerblading early morning as she was attempting to avoid loose gravel she
fell on her wrist and knee. A PA then inspected the wrist with no scratches but
was slightly deformed with limited range of motion to her wrist with knowing
this information the PA then evaluates her in injury by cleansing her scrached
knees then proceeding to take Mary to the radiology department passing the
vital information to the radiographer of what incident had occurred the
radiographer then X-ray’s her wrists then rules out the injury as a
“Colles” fracture. getting patient history is very important part of
a radiography exam especially having the information of what happened the time,
date and how it happened and what position you may have fell or history of any
broken bones or ligaments. Or even medical disease example such as arthritis or
osteoporosis known as a bone disease because it gives the radiographer and
radiologist a proper decision positions to put the patient in without adding
any possible injury or extra discomfort to the patient.
