Feedback
1. A rash is not a systemic sign.
2. Vesicles are not a systemic sign.
3. Systemic signs and symptoms include fever, headache, decreased responsiveness, and pain.
4. Blistering is not a systemic reaction.

Answer to Question 2

C
A Milwaukee brace is worn approximately 23 hours per day over a T-shirt that protects the skin. Some experts believe the same therapeutic outcome will occur with only 16 hours of wear per day.
