A client comes to the emergency department complaining of localized pain and swelling of his lower leg. Ecchymotic areas are noted. History reveals that the client got bit in the leg with a baseball bat. Which of the following would the nurse suspect as most likely?

Strain.

Sprain.

Contusion.

Fracture.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

Contusion. The nurse would suspect a contusion as the client was hit by a baseball bat and has localized pain and swelling with ecchymosis (bruising).

Option A, Strain, is unlikely as a strain is a stretching or tearing of a muscle or tendon, and it is not usually caused by blunt force trauma.

Option B, Sprain, is unlikely as a sprain is a stretching or tearing of a ligament, and it is not usually caused by blunt force trauma.

Option D, Fracture, is unlikely as a fracture is a break in the bone and usually involves more severe pain and may be accompanied by deformity.
