Your patient is a 30-year-old machinist who had his right hand caught in a press. Upon extrication, there is no evidence of significant trauma. You should:

▸ splint in position of function, start an IV of normal saline, consider morphine for analgesia.

▸ wrap the hand in a bulky dressing held in place by an elastic bandage.

▸ apply oxygen by nonrebreather, splint using a sling and swath, insert a large-bore IV of lactated Ringer's.

▸ splint the hand in the position found, elevate above the heart, apply ice.
