Answer to Question 1

isometric exercises
Isometric or static exercises involve tightening or tensing of muscles without moving body parts.

Answer to Question 2

C
The third (longer) prong in an electrical plug is the ground. If a patient brings an electrical device to the hospital, an engineer inspects the device for safe wiring and function before use. Many patients with disabilities use battery chargers for mobility equipment function. These devices need to be inspected by hospital engineers. Fires in health care settings typically are electrical or anesthetic-related.
