JL, a 50-year-old woman, was camping with her 3 children and spouse, fell and broke
the left tibia at the ankle. She is in the emergency department, waiting for the fracture to
be immobilized. The leg hurts and she note that the ankle is swelling. A diagnosis of a
simple fracture and sprain (damage to ligaments) is made.

Discussion Questions

    as inflammation resolves and healing begins?
  2. What is the rationale for immobilizing the fractured bone?
    JL’s son Matt, age 10 years, has a runny nose and itchy eyes and is irritable. The
    camping tent was set up in a grassy field, and the boys played several games on the
    field. Matt is also seen by a health care provider and a diagnosis of allergy to pollen is
    made.

    Explain the rationale for each of Matt’s symptoms.
  3. Identify the type of immune response involved. 
  4. Discuss what Matt can expect in the future.
