Document Summary
Jonathan begay, a 22-year old man of the navajo nation, is playing football with some of his friends in the park. He jumps up in the air to catch the football and is hit by another player. Jonathan flips in midair and feels something pop in his neck as he lands hard on the ground. He does not have any pain, but when he tries to get up, he cannot move his legs or arms. Jonathan is alert and talking to his friends. While waiting for emergency personnel to arrive, they should not move jonathan since any movement or improper handling could cause further damage and loss of neurological function. If the airway is compromised, you should perform the jar-thrust technique since it can be accomplished without extending the neck. The head, neck, and spinal column are in a neutral position. A large bore iv is started, and oxygen is applied at.
