Answer to Question 1

B
DVTs are a problem for patients with a spinal cord injury. Passive range-of-motion exercises manipulate the muscles, which improves venous return, reducing the probability of DVT.

Answer to Question 2

B
Engorgement is the result of venous and lymphatic stasis (congestion).
