Answer: Most commonly used device is ankle foot orthosis (AFO).  Other devices include brace or splint.

Explanation:

Ankle foot orthosis and brace are the devices used to prevent foot drop in client. Some other treatment includes physical therapy, nerve stimulation and also in some cases surgery.

Physical therapy includes doing some exercises and stretching activities.

Weakness or paralysis of muscles involved in lifting the front part of our foot results in foot drop.

This may also be caused as a result of nerve injury.

Above all the causes, the main cause of foot drop is compression of nerve in leg that is responsible for controlling muscle that aid in lifting the foot.

steoporosis and related low bone mass affect many adults in North America, especially older women. One-third of all women experi
tatuchka [14]

Answer: This is TRUE for me. Osteoporosis is a preventable disease.

Explanation:

In this condition, bone density ( the amount of bone tissue) is reduced because it's deposition does not keep pace with resorption. Although the bone is adequately mineralised, it is fragile and microscopically abnormal, with loss of internal structure.

Peak bone mass occurs around 35 years and then gradually declines in both sexes. Lowered oestrogen levels after the menopause are associated with a period of accelerated bone loss in women. Thereafter bone density in women is less than in men for any given age. That is why in North America, one-third of all women experience fractures because of this disease, amounting to about 2 million bone fractures per year.

Common features of osteoporosis are:

--> skeletal deformity: gradual loss of height with age, caused by compression of vertebrae.

--> bone pain

--> fractures: especially of the hip ( neck of femur), wrist and vertebrae.

It is TRUE for me that some risk factors can't be changed ( which is the low oestrogen levels that occur after menopause in women) but others, such as poor calcium intake, can.

Exercise and Calcium intake during childhood and adolescence are important in determining eventual bone mass of an individual and in preventing risk of osteoporosis in later life.

which type of health care worker would be most concerned with the safety standards established by the clinical laboratories impr
Rama09 [41]

The Director of nursing would be most concerned with the safety standards established by the clinical laboratories’ improvement amendments or CLIA.

<h3>What is CLIA?</h3>

The Public Health Services Act was amended by the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 law, in which Congress altered the federal scheme for accreditation and oversight of clinical laboratory testing.

Federal standards that apply to all U.S. facilities or locations that test human specimens for health assessment or to diagnose, prevent, or treat disease are included in the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) rules.

Testing performed for forensic reasons (criminal investigations), testing carried out on human specimens for research or surveillance, and testing carried out on human specimens when patient-specific results are not reported are all exempt from the CLIA regulations.

These tests include employment-related drug testing by SAMSHA-certified laboratories.
