Answer to Question 1

B
Open reduction, a surgical procedure, allows direct visualization of the fracture repair and may include insertion of special orthopedic devices (pins, screws, wires, nails, etc.) to maintain the reduction. The major disadvantage of ORIF is the risk of introducing infection into the bone.

Answer to Question 2

D
The client's functional abilities determine the needed level of care, which determines the most appropriate type of housing.
