DISLOCATIONS.

Dislocation is a displacement of the joint. It may occur with a break

of the limb, but usually results from a fall or strain.

There may be deformity and inability to move the injured part.

Sometimes an abnormal projection is the first sign. If inflammation

arises, apply cold applications. The only treatment a nurse may give is

to keep the patient quiet and await skilled help.
