Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
A cylinder cast was applied to the client. A cylinder cast encircles an arm or leg and leaves the toes or fingers exposed. The cast extends from the joints above and below the affected bone in order to prevent movement and maintain correct alignment during healing. A spica cast is not the correct response because it cannot be trimmed, and is heavy and uncomfortable. A bivalved cast is not the correct response because it is usually used for upper extremities and half of it can easily be removed. A body cast is used to encircle the trunk of the body instead of an extremity.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Functional braces are most suitable for the client because they can provide stability for an unstable joint. Braces are custom-made or custom-fitted devices designed to support weakened structures. Prophylactic braces are not suitable because they are used to prevent or reduce the severity of a joint injury. Rehabilitative braces allow protected motion of an injured joint that has been treated operatively. Invisalign braces are a type of orthodontic braces that are used to correct the alignment of teeth and their position with regard to bite.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
