Answer to Question 1

A, B, D
Any injury to the hypothalamus impairs heat loss mechanisms. Educate patients at risk for hyperthermia to do the following: avoid strenuous exercise in hot, humid weather; avoid exercising in areas with poor ventilation; drink fluids such as water and clear fruit juices before, during, and after exercise; wear light, loose-fitting, light-colored clothing; wear a protective covering over the head when outdoors; and expose themselves to hot climates gradually.

Answer to Question 2

D
Bones perform five functions in the body: support, protection, movement, mineral storage, and hematopoiesis (blood cell formation). Two of these functionssupport and movementare most important during activity and exercise. In support, bones serve as the framework and contribute to the shape, alignment, and positioning of the body parts. In movement, bones with their joints constitute levers for muscle attachment. Hematopoiesis and mineral storage are not involved with bone function during activity and exercise.
