Answer to Question 1

C
Air casts, braces, or supports are used only until a joint has been strengthened. If a joint is im-mobilized too long and muscles are not exercised, muscle atrophywhich begins in a matter of dayscan cause permanent disability

Answer to Question 2

D
Skin protection for patients with SLE is a top priority. The patient should be advised to liberally apply fragrance-free lotions to dry areas at least twice daily. Weight training could cause joint strain. SLE patients should choose a mild soap with a glycerin base and select sunscreen that features SPF of 30 or higher.
