Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Hot compresses cause vasodilation, thereby drawing oxygen, leukocytes, and nutrients to an injured or diseased area to promote healing and prevent infection. Cold compresses are used to prevent edema. AROM are active range-of-motion exercises used in physical therapy. Muscle, bone, or joint fractures or diseases accompanied by damage to surrounding soft tissues are treated by external immobilization devices to alleviate pain and discomfort, prevent further injury, and promote healing.
