Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Therapeutic beds are used to treat clients with severe joint contractures. The flotation mattress supports the body to avoid creating pressure points. An egg crate mattress provides comfort, because it is shaped like an egg carton, but it does not prevent skin breakdown. Orthopedic beds keep the body in straight, flat alignment.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
In the event of client complaints of burning pain, treatment should be stopped immediately and the provider notified. Burning pain indicates tissue ischemia (lack of blood supply) and may lead to tissue necrosis (tissue death). Untreated, this can lead to gangrene and necessitate amputation.
