It is possible to take measures to facilitate the day-to-day of those who have lived many years, preventing injuries that, today, are one of the biggest causes of hospitalization.

<h3>Home safety</h3>

The experience gained over the years is certainly something to be admired and even celebrated, but the physical difficulties that come with age, at a certain point, become inevitable.

  1. Ensure a safe floor
  2. Be very careful with stairs
  3. The bathroom must be adapted
  4. Furniture must have rounded edges
  5. Wires must be fixed to the walls
  6. Change the handles to the lever type

With this information, the nurse can have in mind the care to be spoken to make the home of an elderly person safe.

Describe the typical distribution of the upper extremity tinglong and numbness in TOS, and explain why this distribution occurs
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The typical distribution of the upper extremity tinlong and numbness is caused by compression of the brachial plexus  of the c8-t1 nerve.

Explanation:

The thoracic outlet syndrome is generated by a compression of the brachial plexus in the upper thoracic strait that can be permanent or occur at times. Compression of the subclavian artery or vein can also be generated and the vertebral artery can even be compromised in the costclavicular space.

The portion of the plexus that is usually most affected is the lower primary trunk, this because this is the most neural structure close to the first rib or cervical rib if it exists.

In this syndrome, a set of symptoms can be generated in the upper limb, in the thorax, in the neck, shoulders and head.Paresthesias occur intermittently or permanently due to the compression of the C8-T1 nerve roots and the medial bundle of the brachial plexus. They can also produce chest pain of the anginal type.In addition, among the arterial symptoms that it can produce is tingling and numbness in arms and hands and fatigue of the same when maintaining a position for a prolonged time. And among the venous symptoms that can occur is the edema of arms and fingers
