Explanation:

A valgum deformity is an outward angulation of the distal segment of a joint or bone. In other words, the knees will be angled medially and the feet will be angled laterally. Reverse this scenario to laterally angled knees and medially angled feet and you will see a varum deformity also known as bow legged.



When a client asks for personal information about their friend which happens to be a client, the correct response should be _______________.

  1. to discuss the details
  2. to end the conversation
  3. to tell them some but not all details
  4. to find a way to turn the focus back on them

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

When a client asks about the private matters of a common client/friend, they are trying to fill a gap that a massage therapist, as a professional, should not fill. The massage therapist may think the client making the request for information will respect the therapist for divulging privileged information but they will ultimately grow to distrust the therapist's adherence to client confidentiality. The best answer is one that puts the focus back on them.
