Answer to Question 1

1
The scapula, iliac crest, and sternum are flat bone types. Metacarpals are an example of the short type. The femur is a long type bone, and the vertebra is an irregular type.

Answer to Question 2

2
To protect renal function in a client with a kidney disorder who needs to receive a contrast agent for a diagnostic test, the client would be provided with acetylcysteine or sodium bicarbonate. The client should not have fluids restricted. An intravenous infusion of normal saline will not protect the kidneys from possible damage from the contrast agent. Maintaining bed rest will not protect the kidneys from the contrast agent.
