Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: CBR is complete bedrest, and is an acceptable abbreviation. Three days should be written out because X3d could be misinterpreted.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: One purpose for using body mechanics is to reduce fatigue in the employee. An injury is more likely to occur when the staff member's muscles are fatigued. The purpose of appropriate body mechanics is not client safety or to reduce client fatigue, it is for the protection of the staff. Even when using proper body mechanics, it is possible to cause friction to the client's skin.
