Answer to Question 1

B
Extreme heat also causes potentially serious problems, especially in very young or elderly clients. Nursing interventions include loosening constrictive clothing, pour water over client to reduce body temperature, and place client near a fan.

Answer to Question 2

A
Any change from flexion to extension posturing indicates a worsening of the client's condition.
