Answer to Question 1

D
Torticollis is inclining of the head to the affected side, in which the sternocleidomastoid muscle is contracted.
Lordosis is an exaggeration of the lumbar spine curvature.
Kyphosis is an increased convexity in the curvature of the thoracic spine.
Kyphoscoliosis is an abnormal anteroposterior and lateral curvature of the spine.

Answer to Question 2

B
Passive relaxation is useful for persons for whom the effort and energy expenditure of active muscle contracting leads to discomfort or exhaustion, such as the person with terminal cancer. This type of relaxation has been shown to contribute significantly to cancer palliative care.
The person with hypotension would not require the passive type of relaxation.
The person with work-related stress would not require the passive type of relaxation.
The client experiencing dysfunctional grieving would not require the passive type of relaxation. Therapeutic touch has been found effective in improving mood in bereaved adults.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
