Answer:

Most likely he has injured his <u>Calcaneal tendon</u> and the bulge is <u>triceps surae or calf muscle.</u>

Explanation:

The calcaneal tendon is the thickest tendon, which is present at the back of the lower leg and begins at the middle of the calf. It is covered with skin and fascia and connects the bones with the muscles.

The calf muscles or the triceps surae, are the muscles present in the calf of the leg.The calf muscles act via the tendon and cause flexion of the knee and the ankle.

<u>While exercising, an overuse of the calcaneal tendon, can result in pulling of the calf muscles from the Achilles tendon. Thus causing a tear in the calf muscle, which appears like a bulge.</u>

Taking temperatures is delegated to you. What information can you get from the nurse and a resident's care plan?
ddd [48]

D. What site to obtain the temperatures

Explanation:

An individual care plan of a patient by a nurse or a resident will contain all the basic information necessary to provide an individualized care plan for that patient.

Patient’s vital signs including body temperature are assessed on a routine basis and recorded in the nursing/resident’s care plan.  

In an individual nursing/resident’s care plan, the temperature will mostly be recorded like Temperature: 101.40F (orally). This clearly mentions the recorded value and site of recording the temperature.  

Recording the temperature accurately, precisely, consistently and diligently is very important because it is a vital parameter which is used to decide treatment modalities.  

Hence, the site and method of measurement should be selected appropriately and used consistently and recorded in the nursing care plan to ensure measurement accuracy and patient’s safety.
