A client is to undergo surgery to repair a ruptured Achilles tendon and application of a brace. The client demonstrates understanding of his activity limitations when he states that he will need to wear the brace for which length of time?

2 to 4 weeks
6 to 8 weeks
10 to 12 weeks
14 to 16 weeks

6 to 8 weeks

Explanation:

The Achilles tendon rupture can be described as a medical condition in which the partial or complete tear occurs when the tendon is stretched beyond its original capacity. This may also occur due to the forceful jumping and pivoting. This may also occur due to fast running that can cause overstretching of the tendon and may cause tears.

As a result of the non-surgical procedure, the brace or cast is applied on the tendon rupture which is required to be worn for a period of 6 to 8 weeks for complete recovery.

the plates spread at mid-ocean ridges (they are divergent plate boundaries) which allows magma to rise through the weakness between the plates. the magma then emerges as lava from the boundary and cools, creating a new crust.
