While playing on her swing set, 10-year-old Sally falls and breaks her right leg. At the emergency room, the doctor tells her pa

rents that the proximal end of the tibia where the epiphysis meets the diaphysis is fractured. The fracture is properly set and eventually heals. During a routine physical when she is 18, Sally learns that her right leg is 2 cm shorter than her left, probably because of her accident. What might account for this difference?

The fracture might have damaged the epiphyseal cartilage in Sally’s right leg. Even though the bone healed properly, the damaged leg did not produce as much cartilage as did the undamaged leg. The result would be a shorter bone on the side of the injury.

A client who was bitten by a wild animal is admitted to an acute care facility for treatment of rabies. which type of isolation
mojhsa [17]

Th client requires Strict Isolation.

<h3>What is meant by Isolation?</h3>

Isolation is one of numerous strategies that can be used in healthcare institutions to execute infection control, which aims to limit the spread of contagious diseases from one patient to another, to staff members and visitors, or from outsiders to a specific patient (reverse isolation).

There are different types of isolation, some of which modify contact protocols and others in which the patient is kept isolated from everyone else. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) developed a system in which different levels of patient isolation include taking one or more explicitly defined "precautions," which are then periodically reviewed.

When a patient is known to have a contagious (transmittable from person to person) viral or bacterial infection, isolation is most frequently used.
