You are called to care for an elderly patient who cannot feel the right leg. The patient has had years of back problems with multiple surgeries.
Today the pain is down the lateral-posterior leg with numbness and tingling laterally and in the foot.
The patient only wants to be transported if you feel it is necessary, stating, "I don’t want to lose my leg!"
You decide to transport the patient because this most likely is:
A: Non-traumatic back problem.
B: Loss of circulation in right leg.
C: Degeneration of the right knee.
D: Onset of musculo-skeletal disorder.
