Answer to Question 1

A, B, D
Fiberglass casts are lighter and dry quickly, allowing weight bearing in as little as 30 minutes. Fiberglass casts are very expensive and do not lend themselves to molding to body parts. The surface is very rough and often abrades the skin.

Answer to Question 2

Tensilon

An injection of Tensilon will increase muscle strength within 1 minute of injection and is a posi-tive test for the diagnosis of myasthenia gravis.
