Explanation:

The five-step process for treating a muscle or joint injury such as an ankle sprain is called "P.R.I.C.E." which is the acronym for Protection, Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation.

It can be used even by someone without first-aid training, and should be used immediately when an injury occurs as a First Aid while further medical attention is being sought.

Here is the sentence arranged in a logical order describing the steps taken in acutely decreasing inflammation.

__ Following musculoskeletal injury such as sprained ankle, medical professionals use the acronym P.R.I.C.E to detail the method of treatment.

__ By removing one from the conditions that caused the injury and reducing the movement of the affected areas, PROTECTION is an important factor in further decreasing the chances of further harm.

__ In order to reduce the chances of further damage to the affected tissues, one is encouraged to REST the injury with prophylactic devices like casts splints, and slings.

__ Using medical wraps will ICE the tissues, which increases the interstitial hydrostatic pressure, thus promoting the reabsorption of fluid into lymphatic vessels.

__ Using COMPRESS works to vasoconstrict the vasculature (arteries) of the injured area and reduce the number of fluids reaching the injury and accumulating in the interstitium.

__ It is also important to ELEVATE the affected area above the level of the heart, if possible, which harnesses the forces of gravity to move fluids away from the site of injury and back into general circulation.

assessing challenges with access to care for patients presenting to the emergency department for non-emergent complaints. medica

Anettt [7]

The most frequently cited causes among patients regarding access to care for patients presenting to the emergency department for non emergent complaints are self-described emergency and the inability to schedule an appointment in time

According to a poll conducted and the results documented in a medical journal, patients who signed into the emergency department at the Brooke Army Medical Center had an emergency severity score of 4 or 5.

Survey Results:

-The most often cited reasons on the survey were an emergency that the respondent self-reported (n=58) and a difficulty to schedule an appointment in a timely manner (n=73).

-The majority (n=86) said they would have used main care if they could have gotten an appointment the following morning, but many (n=77) said they would have gone to the emergency room regardless of whether primary care was available.

-More primary care appointments being made available was the most often suggested solution (n=96). The most common type of examination was an X-ray (37%) followed by a laboratory investigation (20%).

- 38% (n=78) of patients admitted trying to schedule an appointment with their primary care before going to the emergency room. 22% (n=46) of people reported calling the nurse advice line prior to visiting the ED.

A significant factor in the usage of the ED for non-emergent visits appears to be patient perceptions of the difficulties in getting appointments. In our dataset, the majority of patients who were surveyed said they had trouble getting an appointment on time or self-reported an emergency.
