Case Study

Kendra, an educator, is concerned as an unused table is sitting in the emergency exit path.

As Kendra lifts the table, she drops it. Kendra is wearing open-toe sandals, so the table leg lands on the big toe of her right foot. Her toe is throbbing, bleeding and bruised and she is crying.

Other educators come to supervise the children, so Sue helps Kendra to the staff room. Sue applies ice to the injured toe and a bandaid to cover the broken skin. Sue also suggests Kendra raises her foot.

After 15 minutes, Kendra is feeling much better. Her toe is sore but is no longer throbbing. She insists on going back to her normal duties.
