Trauma - Life in the ERby Anonymous (no login)On a TLC program that follows docs and nurses through the ER in a 'live setting' It showed a 12 year old boy come in with forefoot trauma. He had no feeling in his toes and limited movement. He also had a severe laceration from the toes to the underfoot. I was very surprised when a PNP (Pediatric Nurse Practitioner) treated him IN FULL. She ordered the radiography and read it and then proceeded to treat him with sutures and a soft wrap of the ankle and foot along with Rx for antibiotics and pain. Where is the podiatrist? Is a NP trained to treat such an ailment and if so how well? Just wanted to hear some thoughts. Thanks from IP address 63.228.198.184 Goto Forum Home |
