Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D
Feedback:
Interventions to help with a sprain include applying ice pack for 20-minute intervals, applying ice pack on the site for 4 to 7 days, wrapping with an elastic bandage, and using crutches to walk for 3 to 4 days after the injury. Heat is not applied to a sprain.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Hospice for children allows for continuation of hopeful treatment so long as certain criteria are met. This is different from adult hospice. Encouraging visits from friends and family, educating parents about terminal dehydration, and treating constipation are common to family-centered care.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
