An 81-year-old female fell and struck her head. You find the patient lying on her left side. She is conscious and complains of neck and upper back pain. As you are assessing her, you note that she has a severely kyphotic spine. What is the MOST appropriate method of immobilizing this patient?
You would apply a cervical collar first, then kneel on roll client gently to you and asses her back, slide the long backboard under the patient quickly and gently lower her back to the board. Make sure you secure the client with the straps. ,
