← ScienceWhich risk elevates when shortwave diathermy power increases?
A)Excessive tissue heating and burns✓
B)Decreased collagen fiber production
C)Bone fracture from wave impact
D)Reduced leukocyte migration rate
💡 Explanation
Increasing power elevates the electromagnetic field, thus increasing risk of resistive heating because water molecules oscillate faster; therefore, cellular proteins denature, increasing localized hyperthermia and potentially causing severe and deep tissue burns, rather than therapeutic effects.
