Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 3, 4
Most spinal cord injuries are caused by motor vehicle accidents. Falls, gunshot wounds, and sports-related accidents also cause a significant number of these types of injuries. Spinal cord injuries are not caused by walking or gardening.

Answer to Question 2

4
Vicodin, although a narcotic analgesic, also contains acetaminophen (Tylenol). It is very easy to overdose on the acetaminophen (Tylenol) component, which can lead to kidney damage. Aleve does not contain acetaminophen (Tylenol). Aspirin and ibuprofen do not contain acetaminophen (Tylenol).
