A 14-year-old girl with a fractured leg is receiving instructions from the nurse on how to use crutches. The nurse should teach the client not to rest with the crutch pad pressing on the axilla.

Why should the nurse intervene?

The brachial nerve plexus that crosses the axilla may be compressed and damaged as a result of pressure from a crutch, which could result in irreversible nerve palsy. Teach kids to always support their weight at the hand grasp rather than rest with the crutch pad resting against their axilla.

As the rubber tip keeps the crutch from slipping, it is important to regularly inspect crutch tips to make sure they are still in good condition. Make sure the child is using crutches that are situated about 6 inches to the side of the foot when walking.

This distance provides a broad, evenly distributed basis for support. Parents are advised to remove items like little footstools, throw rugs, and toys from walking routes inside the house to prevent tripping children.

The poem is organized around a contrast of two kinds of lovers: the ''laity'' (8) and, as their implied opposite, the priesthood
ziro4ka [17]

In the poem "A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning" by John Donne, the opposing terms are metaphorical. Donne is stating that their love is spiritual, not just physical. While the "laity" type of love is formed by people, the "priesthood" type is considered an unseen force. Laity love requires physical interaction, while priesthood love lasts beyond the human senses. The author states that because their love is spiritual, and they are one, when they separate they can only expand it.

He urges her to not cry because any sign of mourning will welcome outsiders to interrupt their love, and see his parture as temporary. Donne wrote this to express in faith in the long-distance relationship, and that she should not mourn him leaving.
