A 10-year-old boy arrives with his mother at the emergency department after being bitten by a stray dog. He has sustained a soft

tissue injury on the inner aspect of the left forearm, and it is bleeding. What is the priority nursing action?
1
Asking the mother whether her son is allergic to horse serum
2
Assessing the injury and the child's vital signs and health history
3
Inoculating the child with human rabies immunoglobulin
4
Notifying the police department to capture and test the dog
2.
For effective decisions to be made, baseline information on the child's condition, extent of injury, and significant health history are required first. Hyperimmune antirabies serum is not a preferred treatment. Inoculation for establishment of short-term, passive immunity to rabies follows initial care of injuries; the priority is assessment and treatment of the injury. Authorities should be notified after the injured child has received care.

1. Why do the bone structures around your head and chest create a convex, enclosed area, unlike the bones in your arms and legs?
Dvinal [7]

Short answer: Bones structures in the head and chest help to protect vital organs, while bones in the limbs are mainly for movement.

Explanation:

Bones are hard structures that serve different purposes depending on their shape and structure. In the case of bones found in the head or the chest including the occipital bone, the ethmoid bone, among others in the head, and the ribs, sternum, etc. in the chest these are flat bones that together form cavities to protect vital organs such as the brain in the head and the heart and lungs in the chest.

On the other hand, bones in the limbs such as the humerus, the tibia, the radius, etc. are considered as long bones. Moreover, this structure supports their function of providing movement to the body rather than protecting organs as it occurs with flat bones.
