Answer to Question 1

B
Do not reapply the ice pack to red or bluish areas; continual use of the ice pack makes ischemia worse. When filling an ice pack, fill the bag two-thirds full with small ice chips. The bag is easier to mold over a body part when it is not full. However, in this case, do not reapply the ice pack.

Answer to Question 2

C
After the patient has initiated a urine stream, pass the urine specimen container into the stream and collect 90 to 120 mL of urine. A sterile specimen container is used. Pour antiseptic solution over cotton balls. A cotton ball or gauze is used to cleanse the perineum.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
