Answer to Question 1

C
The Charleston bending brace is worn for 8 to 10 hours at night, when a child's human growth hormone level is highest.

Answer to Question 2

C
Electric shock (defibrillation) is not effective for this rhythmCPR and ACLS medications are required. The therapist should call a code, begin CPR, and administer ACLS medications that are used to stimulate electrical activity of the heart. Defibrillation is only effective if the heart has no electrical activity.
