TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Draping for Minimum Exposure and Maximum Dignity A1 - Johansson, Charity A1 - Chinworth, Susan A. PY - 2012 T2 - Mobility in Context AB - DebbieDebbie has been homeless for 5 years. One night she was assaulted, resulting in damage to her spine. She has some trunk and lower-extremity weakness, but the neurologist believes that the damage will not be permanent. She is to wear a thoracic-lumbar-sacral brace to protect the spine and limit spinal motion while she is out of bed. Your initial examination is 2 days after her admission to the rehabilitation unit. During your examination, you will need to inspect different areas of her body for additional integumentary damage and will need to assess her mobility out of bed. How will you initially approach this patient? Are there any considerations during the examination of this patient that may be different from other patients? As you inspect her for injuries, which positions and draping techniques will you employ and why? SN - PB - F. A.
