    The nurse should suspect of a fractured jaw.

    The crepitus is a common sign of bone fracture and it's heard when the fractured surfaces of two broken bones rub together.

    Also If there is a severe jaw fracture, the patient might experience limited ability to move the jaw or be unable to move it at all.
