Explanation

A. Scratching around pin sites is more indicative of skin irritation or infection, not compartment syndrome.

B. Accumulation of flaky skin is generally unrelated to compartment syndrome and might be a sign of poor circulation or prolonged immobility.

C. Dry serosanguineous drainage is common after surgery and would not specifically indicate compartment syndrome.

D. Compartment syndrome is a serious condition where increased pressure within a muscle compartment can lead to ischemia and tissue damage. Pain, particularly pain that is out of proportion to the injury or pain when the limb is at rest, is a classic sign.

A. Dancing B. Sneezing and coughing C. Lifting a box from a top shelf D. Prolonged standing or sitting E. Lying down

B. Sneezing and coughing can increase intra-abdominal pressure and aggravate a herniated disc by putting more stress on the affected area of the spine.

C. Lifting a heavy box from a high position requires bending and twisting, which can exacerbate a herniated disc.

D. Prolonged standing or sitting can increase pressure on the spine, especially in the lower back, and aggravate symptoms of a herniated disc.
