Answer to Question 1

A
If a patient has altered neurovascular status of an extremity, such as cyanosis, pallor and coldness of skin, or complaints of tingling, pain, or numbness, remove the restraint immediately, and notify the physician. Loosening the restraint may not effectively restore adequate circulation. An improperly sized restraint may not provide the protection needed for the patient.

Answer to Question 2

Rotokinetic
This bed improves skeletal alignment with constant side-to-side rotation up to 90 degrees.
