What is your response?a.)"I'm concerned that your bone is not healing properly. Let's ask the doctor about doing some X-rays."b.)"That lump may be a sign of infection. We need to obtain cultures from the site."c.)"The lump means that the fracture was not set properly. I'm concerned that the ends of the fracture aren't properly aligned."d.)"That bump is a normal part of bone healing at this stage. As your body completes the process, the cells in your bone will gradually remodel it to its previous shape."

The correct answer is D; "That bump is a normal part of bone healing at this stage. As your body completes the process, the cells in your bone will gradually remodel it to its previous shape."

Further Explanation:

The "lump" that is located in the bone where the bone is healing is common in breaks. When the body suffers from a broken bone, there are three phases the body goes through. The bone restructures itself and the healing begins with the process called remodeling.

The healing bone goes through three phases called;

*Inflammatory phase

*Repair phase

*Remodeling phase

The "lump" is a callous that has formed and the body will eventually heal itself and the "lump" will disappear.

How can rescuers ensure that they are providing effective breaths when usimg a bag mask device??
finlep [7]

A bag-mask is a medical device designed to ventilate a patient in respiratory arrest.

It must be on hand in an emergency department of the hospital or an ambulance.

It can be used before or after intubation while waiting for a mechanical respirator.

It can be used in CPR.

The bag-mask is preferably connected to a source of oxygen.

To use it requires 2 hands:

The right-hand holds the ball and exerts pressure with the 4 fingers to push the air (press with the thumb is an error).

The left hand applies the mask to the mouth and the nose, keeping a good seal, then putting the hand on the chest of the victim to check if there is an expansion/shrinkage of the rib cage due to the entry of the air.
