Answer to Question 1

B
An abdominal binder supports a large incision that is vulnerable to stress when a patient moves or coughs. A breast binder is a tight-fitting sleeveless vest that conforms to the chest wall. This binder provides support after breast surgery or exerts pressure to reduce lactation after breast surgery.

Answer to Question 2

D
NSAIDs are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents, which are effective in treating mild to mod-erate pain. NSAIDs act by inhibiting synthesis of prostaglandins and by inhibiting the cellular responses during inflammation. Adjuvants or coanalgesic agents, such as sedatives, anticonvul-sants, steroids, antidepressants, antianxiety agents, and muscle relaxants, have analgesic proper-ties, enhance pain control, or relieve symptoms.
