Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Amounts of oral fluid intake and urinary output are measured in milliliters (mL) because this is a volume measurement. Grams (g) and kilograms (kg) are weight measurements and centimeters (cm) denote distance.

A bed cradle is a frame used to prevent the bedclothes from touching all or part of the client's body. It is used for clients with fractures, extensive burns, and open or painful wounds, not diabetes.
