Ferrel) There are different degrees of ankle sprains. The pain will be at the lateral part of the ankle and sometimes at the medial part of the ankle. (1. Heck) Which will cause irritation to plantar flexion. Ankle sprains are the most common injury to the lower foot.
1.1) Give examples of possible multiple conditions and/or disabilities that individuals may have. Rheumatoid Arthritis Rheumatoid Arthritis is a disease that causes damage to joints, organs, and bodily systems due to inflammation of joint tissues. While inflammation is usually a response by a person’s immune system to disease or infection, the immune system of a Rheumatoid Arthritis sufferer attacks the person’s healthy joints, causing pain, stiffness, and swelling in the joints, and a host of other symptoms. As the disease progresses, it causes difficulty in pursuing normal activities, even to the extent of interfering with walking, standing, getting dressed, personal grooming, and household chores. Severe Rheumatoid Arthritis is a crippling condition that often prevents people from working within five to ten years of diagnosis.
Some development of arthritis of the fingers, hands, wrists, or knees is also common. The most common visible sign of SLE is the “butterfly” skin rash across the bridge of the nose. Other symptoms are chest pain, fatigue, hair loss, fever without a cause, mouth sores, sensitivity, and swollen lymph nodes. Lupus can also affect other body systems. Depending on what system is affected results in the symptoms associated with it.
Unit 4222-229 Undertake agreed pressure area care (HSC 2024) 1.1 Pressure sores or decubitus ulcers are the result of a constant deficiency of blood to the tissues over a bony area such as a heel which may have been in contact with a bed or a splint over an extended period of time. The surface of the skin can ulcerate which may become infected. 1.2 Common pressure points on the body include the sacrum, hip bone areas, and the ankle and heel. Less common sites include the elbows, spine, ribs, and back of the head. Pressure sores may also result from friction caused by your skin rubbing against another surface, or when two layers of skin slide on each other, moving in opposite directions and causing damage to the underlying tissue.
Back and neck getting up from problems, accidents or injury leading to long term disability, arthritis and any other condition affecting the joints, amputation, fibromyalgia, multi sclerosis, partial or total paralysis, cerebral palsy and head injury. Other conditions such as respiratory and cardiac diseases, epilepsy, diabetes, cancer can all have an impact on co-ordination, dexterity, strength, speed and stamina. Also when people grow older they have difficulty with mobility 1.3 People may have difficulty in moving around because of their age or health, some people may not want to be mobile as it causes them pain and discomfort, sometimes lack of mobility can cause other problems. Example chest infections, urine infections, swollen feet and ankles, loss of independence, deep vein thrombosis, depression. 1.4 People should be encouraged to do every day activities if they are able ie getting up from bed and walking to the bathroom, getting washed and dressed, going up and down stairs, going out for walks, they will be keeping their joints supple and are less likely to rely on other.

Back and neck problems, accidents or injury leading to long term disability, arthritis and any other condition affecting the joints, amputation, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, partial or total paralysis, cerebral palsy and head injury. Other conditions such as respiratory and cardiac diseases, epilepsy, diabetes, cancer and AIDS can all have an impact on co-ordination, dexterity, strength, speed and stamina. 1.3 Outline the effects that reduced mobility may have on an individual’s wellbeing Each difficulty will vary greatly from person to person even if they have the same condition/disability. Most effects will include: • Fatigue • Drowsiness • Chronic weakness • Memory difficulties • Difficulties with studying for extended periods of time without rest/breaks/movement • Poor concentration levels and speed of processing information. 1.4 Describe the benefits of maintaining and improving mobility If you don't keep a person mobile, they will become weak and bedridden.
STAGE 4 Pressure sores progress, with extensive damage to deeper tissues (muscles, tendons and bones). Serious complications, such as osteomyelitis (infection of the bone) or sepsis (infection carried through the blood) can occur. 1:2 Common places where pressure sores are likely to develop are, back of head and ears, elbows, lower back and sacrum, shoulders, hips, heels and the inner knees. 1:3 Factors that put individuals at risk of skin breakdown and pressure sores are confinement to a bed, chair or wheel chair, Inability to change positions without help, loss of bowel or bladder control, poor nutrition and/or dehydration and decreased mental awareness. 1:4 By using incorrect moving and handling techniques one might put residents at risk.
These might be; shoulders or shoulder blades, elbows, back of the head, rims of ears, knees, ankles, heels or toes, spine, tail bone and buttocks. Some of the factors that can put an individual at risk of developing pressure sores are poor nutrition or hydration, a health condition that limits the blood supply(diabetes and peripheral arterial disease) making the skin vulnerable to bruising and damage, poor mobility, age or urine or bowel incontinence. By using incorrect moving and handling techniques you are putting individuals at risk of damaging their skin. This can happen when individuals are moved into chairs as they may be unable to get out of them therefore leaving the individual sat on the same area causing
Moving the femur during transportation may cause more pain and serious problems can occur. The femur is already piercing the skin, a little bit of movement can cause the femur to rip through the skin, which can cause more blood lose. 3. There is an increased risk of osteomyelitis because bacteria and other germs can actually can get inside the wound because it is open which then can lead to infection. 4.
