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  when  she  is  upright.  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?  Does  Debbie’s  housing  insecurity  affect  the  decision-making  in  your  evaluation  and  treatment  plan?As  you  inspect  her  for  injuries,  how  will  you  position  and  cover  her,  and  why?
