Answer to Question 1

D
Maintain the compression rate for approximately 100 times per minute, injecting 2 ventilations after every 15 compressions.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
In cordotomy surgery, the neurosurgeon surgically interrupts the pain pathways in the spinal cord by cutting bundles of nerves. A rhizotomy involves the surgical sectioning of a nerve root close to the spinal cord. In TENS, the client is given bursts of electricity to the skin and underlying nerves, whereas in biofeedback, the client is connected to an electromyography machine to control pain.
