Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Swimming exercises all the extremities without putting undue stress on joints. Softball, football, or basketball could exacerbate joint discomfort.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A, B, D

Keeping the head of the bed elevated improves lung excursion and reduces the work of breathing. Coughing, deep breathing, and, hydration are essential for achieving airway clearance. Insertion of a tracheostomy and oxygen are not primary treatments for ineffective airway clearance.
