This is due to the fact that nails are not actually some useless piece of accessory on your hands.
Nails actually have several components. The nails actually cover something called the keratogenous Matrix, which is the whitish membrane with nerves, and blood vessels that decide on how far nails grow, and is protected by the nail plate which what you can see. The Lunula or the whitish bit of the nail is actually transparent.
On the other hand you have hair which is a verticle object usually used for aesthetic purposes and is an alive thing until it goes above the skin. Hair which is normally aesthetic does have some purposes in different parts of the body. The eyelashes are designed to keep particulates out of the eye, while the axillary hair, is used for thermoregulation (the hair in the armpits and groin are what makes up the axillary).
Explanation:
The LPN/LVN upon overhearing the parent and the client (child) talking comes to a conclusion about what should be further assessed. The statements made were:
1. “Maybe in the future, you will follow the rules”
2. “You know, of course, this means no dinner tonight”
3. “Why did you climb up there when I told you not to?”
4. “It appears that your injury is not serious”
Statement 1 reflects a punitive character of the parents where they highlight the child’s misbehavior and its consequences
Statement 2 reflects the parent’s attitude to correct the child’s misbehavior through negative reinforcement. Parents adopt this as a means of disciplinary action when a child commits a serious mistake which is harmful to himself/herself/others. This is true.
Statement 3 indicates that the parents are not aware of the psychological developmental stages of their child according to the age. Curiosity and exploration are part of school-aged children and parents should be aware of it and should have taken proper care.
Statement 4 indicates the utmost compassionate caring of the parents but hides the child’s knowledge of the injury.
