A 70-year-old female has fallen 2 weeks ago and developed
immediate pain in her left wrist. She thought she just bruised it but is worried because it

You examine her and find she has moderate swelling and ecchymosis but no overtly
obvious deformity. Her ROM is uncomfortable and severely diminished due to the pain.
No crepitus is heard or felt. Her fingers are warm; her pulse is strong; and capillary refill
is less than 2 seconds. What should you do?
Make an immediate referral for an orthopedic evaluation without further assessment.
Tell her that it takes time for these bruises to improve, so she should be patient.

prescribe a splint.
