the tibial collateral ligament can be damaged when the knee is impacted on lateral surface -

Sprain is mild stretch or tear , Sprain is partial tear and Sprain is full tear of the ligament .

Explanation:

Tibial Collateral ligament

Tibial Collateral ligament is one of the four important ligaments in knee. It joins femur with tibia or shinbone. The kneecap sits in the middle of this joint. Ligaments are very sensitive to strains. Tibial collateral ligament is most common ligament to get damage, specially for athletes. There could be three form of injury to this ligament.

Grade 1

Sprain is mild stretch or tear,

Grade 2

Sprain is partial tear and

Grade 3

Sprain is full tear of the ligament.

The damage occurs due to sudden force which is extensive for the ligament and it overstretches. Sudden impact on lateral surface will push the knee sideways, giving stress on the ligament, making it overstretch; and if the force is too great ligament will tear.

The nurse has just finished teaching a client newly diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis about the disease. The nurse determines

8_murik_8 [283]

Given what we know about rheumatoid arthritis, we can confirm that the nurse can determine that the teaching is effective when the client makes the statement that "Rheumatoid arthritis includes joint involvement that is usually symmetric and polyarticular".

Arthritis is one of many diseases in the autoimmune category. An autoimmune disease is one in which the immune system of the patient attacks its own cells. The reasons behind this remain unknown. In the case of Rheumatoid arthritis, the attacks remain isolated to the joints. The immune system causes the joints to be unable to produce synovial liquid, which causes inflamation.

As stated by the patient, Rheumatoid arthritis includes joint involvement that is usually symmetric and polyarticular. What this means is that any diarthrodial joint can be affected by the condition and is usually collateral, meaning that if the left hand is affected, the right hand often is as well.

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:The final step in both pathways would be the activation of factor X, leading to conversion of prothrombin II to thrombin IIa. Option C.

Explanation: blood coagulation is the processes that leads to blood clot formation. The blood clot formed is made up of fibrin and platelets, which forms hemostatic plug over a wound site. The blood coagulation is made up of two partways that led to the formation of clot. The intrinsic pathway also called contact activation pathway and the extrinsic pathway which is also known as the tissue factor pathway. The both pathways are connected by a common pathway whereby factor X is activated leading to leading to conversion of prothrombin II to thrombin IIa. Thrombin then converts fibrinogen to fibrin( blood clot). I hope this helps. Thanks.
