I believe it would be C. Cracking a rib.
Because
- CPR doesn't involve the arms
- Headaches can happen at any age 
- Not finding a pulse can happen with any person
- Cracking a rib would make the most sense to me due to that bone mass or density decreases as a person ages, the bones lose calcium and minerals causing them to deteriorate and become more brittle, which may result in them becoming easily breakable.
This is only my guess though, so don't take my word for it.
Hope it helps at least a little. (:

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

A nurse is performing discharge teaching with a client who has an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) placed. Which client statement indicates effective teaching?

A. I'll keep a log of each time my ICD discharges.

B. I can't wait to get back to my football league.

C. I have an appointment for magnetic resonance imaging of my knee scheduled for next week.

D. I need to stay at least 10′ away from the microwave.

A is the most correct answer.

Explanation:

The question here is about Patient Education.

Educating patients helps them make informed decision about their own welfare.

Patient education can include information about their health conditions and treatments or how to navigate the healthcare system. Ultimately, these educational efforts may help empower patients and inspire them to take ownership of their care.

Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) is a device that is put within the body and is designed to recognize certain types of abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmia) and correct them.

According to the question, if the patient stated that he would keep a log of all ICD discharges, it  indicates that he or she has been effectively taught.

  • The log helps the client and physician identify activities that may cause the arrhythmia that result in the ICD discharge.
  • Medically, he or she is required to record the events right before the discharge.
  • Patients with ICDs ought to stay away from contact sports such as football. It is also advisable medically for them to avoid magnetic fields, which could permanently damage the ICD.
  • Finally, do note that household appliances don't interfere with the ICD

Cheers!

Which statement(s) is (are) correct about 'Pay for Performance' in health care? A. Higher quality care for less cost is the goal
Artist 52 [7]

Answer: The correct option is C ( All are correct statements).

Explanation:

Pay for performance in the health sector are payment systems that reward healthcare providers for their efficiency in treating patients but also also penalizes health care providers for poor outcomes, medical errors, or increased costs. This will indeed motivate health practitioners to take cognitive care about the lives of their patients.

Their major goal is higher quality care for less cost and valued based purchasing.This indeed favours both middle and low class income earners in the country.
