Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The characteristic sign of SLE is a butterfly rash on the face. However, a rash may appear over other body parts as well. Periodic gout attacks are characterized by joint swelling, redness, and severe pain. Scleroderma is considered a collagen disorder that involves chronic hardening and shrinking of connective tissues. In rickets, bones remain soft and become distorted as the child grows.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
A Handihook with adaptive splint prosthesis provides movement and control similar to normal thumbfinger opposition. A dynamic splint helps the client to achieve mobility of the hand, but this prosthesis cannot be used for obtaining normal thumbfinger opposition. Supportive braces provide support for the legs; they are not used for gaining mobility in the hands. A resting splint is used to hold the body part stationary and to prevent the hand from becoming contracted
