| Diagnosis |
| 1. Closed fracture of distal end of right radius – S69.91XAPertinent positives – reports recent injury to left arm, limited ROM to right wrist, pain with ROM, fracture indicated on x-rayPertinent negatives – no obvious deformity, no swellingRationale – Limited ROM following injury or trauma to the arm suggest possible fracture. 2. Other specified sprain of right wrist, initial encounter – S63.591A Pertinent positives – reports recent injury to left arm, limited ROM to right wrist, pain with ROMPertinent negatives – no obvious deformity, no swellingRationale – Injury to the arm may result in a sprain, dislocation or fracture wrist. Absence of obvious deformity can is favorable of a sprain or dislocation; however, impaired ROM and confirmation of fracture via x-ray rules out diagnosis of sprain. 3. Dislocation of right wrist – M24.331 Pertinent positives – reports recent injury to left arm, limited ROM to right wrist, pain with ROMPertinent negatives – no obvious deformity, no swellingRationale – Injury to the arm may result in a sprain, dislocation or fracture wrist. Absence of obvious deformity can is favorable of a sprain or dislocation; however, impaired ROM and confirmation of fracture via x-ray rules out diagnosis of dislocation. Primary diagnoses: Closed fracture of distal end of right radius – S69.91XA PLAN including education Arm splinted with short arm Ortho-glass and ace wrap, sling applied for patient comfort.
