Answer:

d. risk for infection related to disruption of skin integrity.

Explanation:

Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) is a type of surgery used to stabilize and weld a broken bone.

You are more likely to need an ORIF procedure if:

* The bones in his leg have lost a lot of alignment

* Your broken tibia or fibula that pierces your skin

* Your tibia or fibula broken into several parts

* Your fracture affects the knee joint

* Your bones have not welded normally after undergoing treatments that are more conservative.

Mrs. And Mr. Smith both have widow’s peaks (dominant). Their first child also has a widow’s peak, but their second child doesn’t
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Mr. Smith is not justified, Mrs. Smith can not be blamed necessarily for being unfaithful

Explanation:

Widow's peak is a dominant trait which means that it will be expressed both in homozygous and heterozygous condition. If "A" is the dominant allele and "a" is the recessive allele, the trait can be represented as AA or Aa.

Both Mr. Smith and Mrs. smith expressed the trait so they can either have AA or Aa genotype. If even one of them had AA genotype all the offspring would have the trait. But if both of them are heterozygous for it:

     A     a

A  AA  Aa

a  Aa   aa

There is 75 % probability of the child to have the trait (AA or Aa) but there is also 25% probability that the child does not express the trait (aa). Their second child belongs to this category and hence Mrs. Smith can not be blamed for being unfaithful.
