Question 1
Gene, a 54 year old female, suffered a traumatic brain injury 7 days ago in a motor vehicle accident. When reading over the chart, the nurse informs you that she has varying levels of cognition. She has not been assessed for physiotherapy and the second year resident is asking you to assess her mobility.
Is this referral appropriate? How would you determine if this patient was not suitable for physiotherapy?
You have 5 minutes to prepare for question 1-6
