Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback

B Chest percussion is recommended for a patient who produces greater than 30 mL of sputum a day. It would be appropriate to assist the cystic fibrosis patient in mobilizing the thick pulmonary secretions.

D Percussion is contraindicated in the patient with a spinal fracture or with fractured ribs.

Answer to Question 2

C
Adequate hydration is very important for all athletes. They need to ingest water before and after exercise to prevent dehydration, especially in hot, humid environments. Carbohydrates, both simple and complex, are the main source of energy, providing 55 to 60 of total daily kilocalories. Protein needs increase to 1.0 to 1.5 g/kg/day. Vitamin and mineral supplements are not required, but intake of iron-rich foods is required to prevent anemia.
