You are dispatched to the local high school for a "person struck with a baseball." You arrive on the scene and find a 16-year-ol

d male sitting on the bench. Apparently he was the pitcher and was struck in the abdominal area by a line drive ball that was hit very hard. He states that nothing is hurting except he has some mild pain in the area where he was struck. He is upset that the ambulance was called and wants to go back into the game and continue pitching. Your exam reveals nothing remarkable except mild pain when you palpate the injured area. Vital signs are normal. What is the next step?
A) Have the patient walk to the ambulance and take him to the ED. No other care needs to be provided, as there is really no significant sign of any injury.
B) Tell the coach the patient is okay and he can go back into the ball game.
C) Have the coach apply cold to the area and let the pitcher back in the game if he does not get worse in the next 15 minutes.
D) Take appropriate Standard Precautions, apply high-concentration oxygen by nonrebreather mask, and transport the patient ASAP, carefully monitoring the patient during transport.

Using the criteria for naming muscles and your knowledge of bones from the skeletal system, state what the name indicates about
Vesnalui [34]

The quadriceps, commonly known as the quadriceps, is the strongest muscle in the human body. It is located in the anterior compartment of the thigh with the sartorius muscle.

<h3>What is quadriceps?</h3>

Musculus quadriceps femoris means "four-headed muscle" in Latin. It is so named because it consists of four individual muscles. The rectus femoris, vastus medialis, vastus lateralis, and vastus intermedius.

Of the four muscles, only the rectus femoris crosses both the hip and knee joints. Others cross only the knee joint. These muscles have different origins but share a common tendon of the quadriceps that inserts into the patella.

The function of the quadriceps is to straighten the leg at the knee and flex the thigh at the hip. The rectus femoris is a fusiform muscle that consists of two heads. It originates from two sites on the ilium.

Therefore, The quadriceps, commonly known as the quadriceps, is the strongest muscle in the human body. It is located in the anterior compartment of the thigh with the sartorius muscle.

Stress may increase your risk for which of the following
Virty [35]

Question: <em>Stress may increase your risk for which of the following?</em>

Answer: All of the above. It's important to take a mental break after anything that causes you to feel emotionally exhausted. If you continue to let the stress build up, you can cause yourself to age faster, overheat your body, or worse, have a heart attack as your heart attempts to keep up with the overwhelming heat and blockages.
