Mrs. C is a 50-year-old woman who presents with joint pain. She reports the pain has been present for about 2 years. The pain affects her hands and her wrists. She describes the pain as a “dull aching” and “a stiffness.” It is worse in the morning and improves over 2 to 3 hours. She says that on particularly bad days she uses aspirin with moderate relief. She is otherwise well, except for a history of mild hypertension managed with angiotensin-receptor blocker. She reports no other joint pain. She does not have a history of psoriasis.
Her vital signs are: 37.1 C; B/P 128/84; P 84; R 14. There is a 2/6 systolic ejection murmur. Joint exam revealed limited range of motion of the MCPs and wrists bilaterally. There is swelling of the third and fourth MCP on the right and the third on the left. There is pain at the extremes of motion and a boggy quality to the joints. A detailed skin exam is normal.

Emma Mastrangelo had a CT scan of the brain today because of recurrent migraines. Total charges are $720.50. Her benefits pay 90 percent of this procedure. The allowed amount is $462.60. What are the patient's responsibility, discount amount, and the amount the carrier pays the provider?
Dr. Falcone is an emergency department physician who has just called the OR desk concerning a patient. He tells the charge nurse, “we have a 23-year old male patient status post MVA, no airbag deploy, moderate facial injuries, bruising and swelling about the left eye, diplopia and enophthalmos. CT confirmes left orbital floor fracture. Hell be up in 10 minutes.”
If the fracture isn’t stable after being reduced, what instrument tray should the CST have available?
