A young adolescent with R hemiplegic CP demonstrates a strong flexor synergy of the hand. The child does not use the hand for grasp, pinch, or release and often maintains the thumb flexed in the palm. The orthopedic hand surgeon recommends a flexor tendon release followed by several weeks of hand therapy and splinting. The family is very anxious about surgery, and they ask the OTA what to do. Which is the OTA's best response?

A. recommend that the family follow the surgical recommendations presented by the doctor

B. suggest a preoperative course of intensive therapy and static and dynamic splinting

C. advise the family to review all of the information to make an educated decision

D. encourage the family to get a 2nd opinion from another surgeon.

A. consult with the OT, team,

Option C, Advise the family to review all of the info to make an educated decision

Explanation:

Occupational Therapist Assistant (OTA) are not entitled to evaluate the patient. Instead their duties are confined to carrying out treatment plans as planned by an Occupational therapist (OT) or surgeon. In case if a patient is anxious regarding a surgery or the treatment plan, he is free to choose to continue the treatment or he can quit as well. Thus, in this case when patient’s family raised their doubts to the OTA, he/she will suggest them to rethink, evaluate and take a learned decision.  

Hence, option C is correct

water is a polar molecule. a chemical bond is a force of attraction between atoms or ions. bonds form when atoms share or transfer valence electrons. atoms form chemical bonds to achieve a full outer energy level, which is the most stable arrangement of electrons. so, false

explanation:

in h2o molecule, two water molecules are bonded by a hydrogen bond but the bond between two h - o bonds within a water molecule are covalent. the greater the electronegativity difference, the more ionic the bond is. bonds that are partly ionic are called polar covalent bonds. nonpolar covalent bonds, with equal sharing of the bond electrons, arise when the electronegativities of the two atoms are equal.
