what are the 5 P's in musculoskeletal trauma?

Oh man, only two of us in my class figured that one out, then we told everyone during a break and everyone got the question right on the quiz at the end of that day, Bruce was pissed cause people always miss that question so he made everyone sing in front of the class (have you had to do that yet?).

pulse
paralysis
position
paresthesia
pallor

they are five things to be aware of before and after splinting a musculoskeletal injury.
