A 15-year-old patient complains of left ankle pain after being tackled while playing football. He asks the nurse what tests he needs to have to determine if he has a strain or a fracture. How should the nurse reply?
 
  1) You don't need an x-ray; I can tell by the way your ankle looks and feels whether you have a strain or fracture.
  2) Sprains, strains, and fractures have similar symptoms at first; you will need an x-ray of the joint to be certain.
  3) We will need to get a venous Doppler study to make sure that there is not a fracture.
  4) An arterial Doppler will show whether the blood flow is interrupted, which is common for fractures but not for strains.
