Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
When caring for a client with a fractured arm, the nurse needs to apply ice on the injured site. The nurse need not raise the client's injured arm. The nurse should never attempt to replace the ends of bones in a fracture. The nurse needs to apply a roller bandage for sprains or strains, not for fractures.

Answer to Question 2

C
