Answer to Question 1

A
Hot or warm water baths are used to reduce muscle spasms, soreness, and tension. A soak is used to prevent swelling, sooth skin irritations, and remove dead tissue.

Answer to Question 2

B
One safety measure to prevent accidental poisonings is to never call medicine candy. Medications should be kept in a locked cabinet. All medications should be kept in child-resistant containers.
