Answer to Question 1

ANS:
0.5 mL

8x = 4
x = 0.5 mL

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C
Acupuncture could be unsafe for the client if there is poor drainage of the extremity with lymphedema or if there was a bleeding tendency and low white blood cell count. Coagulation would be compromised with a bleeding disorder, and the risk of infection would be high with the use of needles. An elevated serum calcium and high platelet count would not have any contraindication for acupuncture.
