Abstract

This chapter explores the case of Jair, a 11-month-old infant, who is presented to the primary care office with a complaint of not using his left arm for one day. His father states that Jair fell off the couch yesterday and he thinks that Jair may have landed on his left arm. The history provided by his mother is somewhat different. She states that Jair fell down two stairs while in a walker and hurt his left arm at that time. The chapter provides essential guidance and information for understanding how to diagnose and manage this case. This includes differential diagnosis and a series of critical thinking questions ideal for the family nurse practitioner.
