Description
Anyone with a fractured ankle will have an individual treatment plan that may include surgery and/or a cast. Clients need to know what they can do to heal quickly and what signs and symptoms indicate complications. This Fractured Ankle Stoplight Tool puts all the details into an easy to understand format, so clients know when to seek treatment.
Stoplight tools divide various signs and symptoms into green, yellow, and red management zones. Green indicates good control, yellow indicates caution and gives specific steps for action, and red indicates a medical crisis that requires calling 911.
This Fractured Ankle Stoplight Tool can help your client recognize those signs and symptoms that indicate a worsening of their condition, such as an infection, or a problem with the cast. This tool can be customized with your agency’s name and contact information. Available in English and Spanish. 50 sheets per pad
