In reference to the image, what is the projection and position?
AP ankle with eversion stress
AP ankle with 15-20 degree medial rotation
AP ankle with inversion stress
AP oblique ankle with 45 degree medial rotation
AP ankle with eversion stress
Rationale: The image represents an AP projection of the ankle with eversion stress applied. Eversion stress everts the foot and plantar surface away from the midline. This will evaluate the medial region of the ankle.

Which of the following BEST explains why positive pressure ventilation is the correct management step for a patient with flail segment?
A) The positive pressure limits any movement of the thorax, thus allowing only the unaffected side to be ventilated. B) The positive pressure accentuates movement of the thorax inward, reducing the movement of the fracture site and moving the flail segment with the chest. C) The positive pressure permanently inflates the flail segment in order to maximize oxygenation. D) The positive pressure displaces the thorax outward, reducing the movement of the fracture site and moving the flail segment with the chest.
