Answer to Question 1

C
A fentanyl patch is an extended-relief opioid that provides pain relief for 24 hours a day. This is ideal for patients who have chronic severe pain, such as those who have cancer. The other patients are expected to experience acute pain. Therefore, they will most likely benefit from oral or IV opioids for short-term pain relief.

Answer to Question 2

D
Resistive isometric exercises are those in which the individual contracts the muscle while pushing against a stationary object or resisting the movement of an object. An example of a resistive isometric exercise is pushing against a footboard.
Quadriceps setting is an example of an isometric exercise.
Gluteal muscle contraction is an example of an isometric exercise.
Moving the arms and legs in a circle is an example of isotonic exercise.
