Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Aspirin is indicated for the client diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis who has no other contraindications. The prescription for aspirin is not appropriate for the other clients.

Platform crutches are used for clients who are unable to bear weight on their wrists. A walker, axillary crutches, and Lofstrand crutches all require the use of the wrists.
