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.
