You are dispatched to an auto repair shop for an "accident." You arrive and are told by the owner that one of the workers apparently got his hand in the way while using a high-pressure grease gun and injected the grease into his hand. You find the patient seated in a chair with a coworker applying ice to the injured hand. Your examination reveals a minor round laceration in the hand. The patient is complaining of pain in the area but wants to let the wound take care of itself and go back to work. What should you do?
A) Tell the patient that if it does not get better within the next few days he should consult his own doctor.
B) The patient is correct. This type of wound will heal on its own and he can go back to work.
C) Continue to apply cold, elevate and splint the limb, and transport the patient high priority.
D) Remove the ice from the wound, then elevate and splint the limb. Transport the patient high priority.
