The nurse is developing a teaching plan for a client who must undergo an above-the-knee amputation of the left leg. After a leg amputation, exercise of the remaining limb:
a) isn’t necessary.
b) should begin immediately postoperatively.
c) should begin the day after surgery.
d) begins at a rehabilitation center.
Answer: c
Exercise should begin the day after surgery. Exercise is necessary to maintain the muscle tone of the remaining limb. Immediately after surgery, the client usually isn’t alert enough to participate and may be in too much pain. Exercise needs to begin before discharge to a rehabilitation center.
Updated her design in a similar way to her peer Ringlet’s case
Like all other ‘living-fossil’ type old witches, Siez also had a traditional fake name, but she was an oddball that she barely used it and didn’t bother about her real name being exposed in public.
In Wrongworld recalling the true name of a primordial witch was considered as an ill omen, thus modern people(including peer witches) didn’t really like her.
There isn’t a lot of history available about the Charles Lentz & Sons company, aside from their various catalogues. They offered all manner of medical apparatus, as well as zoological and biological equipment. They were based out of Philadelphia, PA, and were one of the first United States medical equipment companies to ship “worldwide” (as it were in 1915).

Osteomyeltis of the femur, as a result of scarlet fever
Osteomyelitis is an intensely painful, often disastrous infection of the bone, which can have grave consequences. This case was the sequelae of a case of scarlet fever (a body-wide rash caused by strep throat), and resulted in amputation of the limb. This patient survived, but a large percentage of patients did not. Prior to antibiotics, many who contracted osteomyelitis (due to scarlet fever or other reasons) developed severe bacteremia(bacteria in the bloodstream), which often progressed to sepsisanddeath.
Think you have strep throat? See a doctor!

although i really like this girl, i hate seeing ignorant shit like this.
i don’t understand how people can make such comparisons. if you don’t want people to stare at you, don’t cover your face in metal. i didn’t wake up one morning and say “hey, let’s chop off my hand and then get pissed when people stare because it’s different” you, however, woke up one morning and said “hey, let’s put unnatural pieces of metal all up in my face and get pissed when people stare because it’s different.” don’t pretend like my disability and your piercings are the same thing, they’re not even relatively close.
i am fully with her on the last piece, though. don’t judge someone based upon looks. as a proud tattooed and pierced woman, i hope one day people will grow to accept these things as pieces of art, not means for judgement.
