nzo Bihari is a 19 yo full time university nursing student. He keeps fit by riding mountain bikes, running and plays with the uni hockey team. He lives in a share house while on campus and goes home for holidays. He also works part-time as a bartender. He went to the beach with some friends on a hot Saturday and hit his head on a sand bank when diving into the water. His friends saw him dive in and realised very quickly that although he was floating face down in the water, he wasn’t fooling around and actually was unable to turn over. His friends and lifeguards turned him, supporting his neck, and kept him warm until the paramedics arrived. Consider the Triage cue cluster: MAP 68 mmHg HR 64 bpm peripheries warm & pink Using physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms, and describing anatomical structures involved, explain why Enzo is presenting with this assessment data.
