CLO 8 You are a PTA working in an outpatient orthopedic clinic. You have been treating a patient who is s/p ACL sprain for the past 3 weeks. As of last week her pain and inflammation had resolved, and she began working on PRE’s, as per the PT POC. Today she presents with pain, swelling and warmth to the knee joint and reports that she slipped and fell over the weekend. What is the most appropriate course of action?
