Answer to Question 1

C
The Aquathermia pad should not be folded or placed under the patient, nor should it be left on for longer than 20 minutes. The Aquathermia pad has water that circulates and stays warm for the entire time of the treatment with no need to reheat the compress.

Answer to Question 2

C
Initially, an order is necessary that specifies the type of SRD and the duration of its application.
