Option D, older clients, because of their maturity, are rarely embarrassed to talk about it, is a generalization and may not be true for all older clients.

Explanation

Choice A, A short leg cast is applied to immobilize the lower leg, specifically covering the area from below the knee to the base of the toes, and it often keeps the foot in a neutral position. It is typically used for fractures of the foot, ankle, or lower leg.

Choice B, hip spica cast, is not the correct answer because it is used for fractures of the hip or thigh.

Choice C, walking cast, is not the correct answer because it is a removable cast that allows the client to walk while it is on.

A. Reduced tensile strength. B. Loss of function. C. Lack of mobility. D. Allergic reaction.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Reduced tensile strength. A history of dislocations of the same joint may be due to an insufficient deposit of collagen during the healing process. Collagen is a protein that provides tensile strength to connective tissues such as tendons and ligaments. Reduced tensile strength may result in instability and dislocation of joints.

Option B: Loss of function is not a correct answer as it is a general term and can occur due to various reasons such as damage to muscles or nerves.

Option C: Lack of mobility is not a correct answer as it is similar to loss of function and does not explain the history of dislocations.

Option D: Allergic reaction is not a correct answer as it is not related to dislocations of joints.
