Answer to Question 1

B
Wheezes are high-pitched, continuous, musical sounds like a squeak heard continuously during inspiration or expiration; they are usually louder on expiration. Coarse crackles and bubbling are not descriptive of wheezes. Dry, grating noises are heard with a pleural friction rub. Loud, low-pitched rumbling is characteristic of rhonchi.

Answer to Question 2

B, C
Provide analgesia 20 to 30 minutes before CPM is needed. Stop the CPM when in extension. Place sheepskin on the CPM to ensure that all exposed hard surfaces are padded to prevent rubbing and chafing of the patient's skin. Align the patient's joint with the mechanical joint of the CPM.
