Answer to Question 1

A
A. As soon as possible elevate extremity or area of bleeding. Elevation assists in decreasing the rate of blood loss.
B. Secure tape on distal end, pull tape across dressing, and maintain firm pressure as proximate end of tape is secured. Start pressure bandage from distal to proximal working towards the heart.
C. Adequacy of circulation (distal pulse, skin characteristics) determines level of perfusion to distal body parts.
D. To ensure blood flow to distal tissues and prevent tourniquet effect, adhesive tape must not be continued around entire extremity.

Answer to Question 2

Alopecia
Alopecia is balding patches in the periphery of the hairline. Hair becomes brittle and broken. Alopecia can be caused by diseases, as a medication side effect, or after improper use of hair care products and hair styling devices.
