The client is at risk of developing surgical site infection post the right below-knee amputation (BKA) as a result of poorly managed diabetes mellitus.

Diabetes is a type of disease that leads to a rise in blood glucose levels. Amputation in the lower extremity of the body is extremely common in an individual with unregulated diabetes. This is because diabetes may result in diabetic neuropathy or peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Narrowing of the arteries in the PAD causes the development of ulcers and infections in the lower limbs, which ultimately causes amputation. Diabetes mellitus reduces the wound healing power and therefore delays the surgical site to recovery. This makes the client prone to surgical site infections.

Answer:

The vigorous CR training zone for a 32-year-old individual with a resting heart rate (RHR) of 55 bmp is  133 to 172 bpm  

<h3></h3><h3>What is resting heart rate?</h3>

Resting heart rate (RHR) is the average number of beats your heart makes per minute. Your RHR may be impacted if you have a diagnosed heart issue because of things like your medications and the nature of your condition.

The range of a normal resting heart rate (RHR) is 60 to 100 beats per minute (bpm).

If your RHR is regularly over 100 beats per minute, you have tachycardia, and you should consult a doctor, especially if you also experience additional symptoms like tightness in your chest, exhaustion, or shortness of breath.
