As an FY2 in the ED, you assess a 32-year-old woman who has been experiencing right wrist pain for the past 6 weeks. The pain has been gradually increasing in intensity. She has no significant medical history, except for a previous visit to this ED 4 months ago. During that visit, she fell off her skateboard and landed awkwardly on the same wrist. However, the x-ray at the time was normal, and she was discharged home with safety netting advice and a repeat x-ray scheduled, although no image is available on the system. When asked about the follow-up, she mentions that she had no pain at the time and wanted to avoid an unnecessary trip to the hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic. What would be the most appropriate course of action?
