An adolescent sustained a 50% total body surface area burn 3 months ago. The adolescent recently developed heterotopic ossificat

ion of both elbows as a secondary complication. Evaluation indicates the adolescent is able to actively flex both shoulders from 0° to 100° and both elbows from 45° to 90°. The adolescent currently requires assistance with feeding. Which compensatory strategy would be MOST BENEFICIAL for improving the adolescent's independence with self-feeding?

<h3>Compensatory strategy for improving independence with self-feeding</h3>

Explanation:

Limitation of shoulder or elbow range of motion due to fracture, dislocation or an injury like a burn injury will lead to flexion contracture.

This limits the patient’s ability to flex or extend the elbows freely to perform activities of daily living (ADL) like self-feeding, self-grooming etc.

Such patients should be assisted with supportive compensatory strategies to and improve their independence by aiding them perform their own ADLs.

Appropriate positioning of the patient and adjusting the height of the food table while eating, trunk swaying, tabletop propping, elbow orthoses like custom-cuffs, dynamic elbow orthoses, feeding utensils with customized handles to hold, robotic arm, and other mechanized orthoses can be utilized to improve independence with self-feeding.

What would happen to life on earth if the rates of photosynthesis and cellular respiration in all phototrophs were equal?
Reptile [31]

Answer:

When the level of release of carbon dioxide during respiration and use of carbon dioxide during photosynthesis this results in a compensation point. At compensation point the net available carbon dioxide to phototrophs becomes  zero. As, carbon dioxide is the chief ingredient for photosynthetic products like glucose and oxygen. These products are used up during the process of respiration. When the rates of two processes photosynthesis and respiration becomes equal. Phototrophic organisms will not be able to compensate for lack of carbon dioxide levels. Phototrophs will not be able to produce their food in the form of glucose and hence will not be able to respire too. This will result in lack of overall available food from phototrophs and lack of available oxygen for respiration. This will result in decline of organisms on earth.

Soil erosion is a process where the top soil layer is washed away because of the effects of water or wind. An agricultural area
Lana71 [14]

Answer: Plant vegetation so that their roots hold the soil firmly.

Build walls around the farm area.

Add natural fertilizers to the soil.

Soil erosion is a process of removal of top layer of soil which get sediment at some other place due to the affect of agents like wind and water. The superficial upper layers of soil are rich source of nutrients and organic matter and active region for germination of seeds and plant growth. Soil erosion removes these superficial layers making soil less fertile or not fertile and less useful for plant growth.

Plants growing in a vegetation have roots which can hold the soil and will prevent soil erosion from wind and water or any other agent. Building of walls around the farm area will prevent flood water to get inside the farm area and hence, prevents soil erosion by water. Addition of natural fertilizers to the soil adds up nutrients to the soil which facilitate plant growth and plant roots hold the soil therefore, prevents soil erosion.

Darya [45]

Not sure if I'm correct but my best guess is the cell membrane seeing as it surrounds the cell itself and is responsible for allowing certain molecules to diffuse in or out of the cell. Good Luck! :)
