What does a fracture pan refer to?

  1. A bedpan for gastric feedings

  2. A flatter bedpan than normal

  3. A canvas belt for mobilization

  4. A tube for administering drugs

The correct answer is: A flatter bedpan than normal

A fracture pan refers to a specialized bedpan designed to accommodate patients who may have difficulty using a standard bedpan due to a fracture or other condition that restricts movement. This type of bedpan is flatter than a regular bedpan, making it easier for those who may not be able to lift their hips very well or who are in pain. The design facilitates proper positioning, allowing patients to use it more comfortably while minimizing any strain on their bodies, particularly around the affected area. The other options provided don't accurately describe a fracture pan. For example, the first option refers to a medical tool unrelated to waste elimination. The third option describes a mobility aid, not a toileting device, while the last option concerns a method for drug administration, which is not relevant to the concept of a bedpan.
