Answer:

This is Doppler ankle arm  brachial index

Explanation:

This is the appropriate test for this woman because of  difficulties experienced with her mobility. It  makes use of the differences in the  data obtained from the comparison of  blood pressure(systolic) measured at the ankle with the one obtained at the arm. The pressure is measured with the Doppler Ultrasound blood flow detector and with Sphygmomanometer cuff.

The comparison is  an indicator of her symptoms causes which may be due  to obstruction or narrowing of the arteries in her legs. The conclusion from these will  form the basis for her diagnosis for possible peripheral arterial diseases.

To avoid misuse what should you do with pain medication your doctor prescribes you for an injury
max2010maxim [7]

Pain medications for injury are usually opioids that need proper handling to avoid any misuse. I will follow the directions as explained on the label, by my doctor and pharmacist.

Moreover, I will never stop or change my dosing regimen without discussing it with my doctor so I can avoid misusing the drug and I will store my pain medication in the proper place where it will never be reach by children.

In case that there are unused or expired medications, I will never give it to other person. Instead, I will drop off the medication to a DEA-designated drop box or take-back program.
