Explanation:

The treatment of ulceration in the foot of diabetic patients should initially be directed against their cause, specifically against pressure. The relief of plantar pressure can be achieved with bed rest and avoiding as much as possible supporting the foot.

 

In addition to pressure relief, the ulcer should be debrided regularly, with the removal of all callus and non-viable tissue formed around the ulcer. This facilitates the formation of a wound with healthy granulation tissue that heals from the base and not merely from the edges

 

In case of evidence of vascular insufficiency, the patient should be sent to a vascular surgeon for evaluation. This is particularly important in the absence of signs of healing after 6 weeks. X-rays should be performed to evaluate the foot early in the course of the ulcer and repeated if clinically indicated, due to lack of cure or presence of a deep infection, to detect an osteomyelitis disorder.

The usual attitude is to establish antibiotic treatment with the slightest clinical suspicion of infection. It is likely that the ulcer is colonized by multiple microorganisms, some of which are probably the real cause of an invasive infection, so the wound smears they usually provide little benefit Broad-spectrum antibiotics with aerobic and anaerobic coverage are required, including streptococci and staphylococci, such as amoxicillin-acidoclavulanic, clindamycin or ciprofloxacin (although the latter has poor antistaphylococcal coverage and limited antistareptococcal, penetrates tissues perfectly)

An objects position is always defined relative to a reference point. If the object changes position, its motion can be described
Orlov [11]
The position of the diver is described as "below a certain point"; therefore, the reference point must be above the diver. For a diver in the middle of his dive, the bottom of the pool, the other swimmers and the far side of the swimming pool are likely to be below the diver, or at level with the diver at most. Out of the options, the only point of reference that is likely to be above the diver is B. the diving board.
