Answer to Question 1

A
Platelets live only about 10 days.

Answer to Question 2

B
Ice packs applied to the knee will reduce swelling. The patient will ambulate at some point but not before the application of ice. There is not going to be a significant loss of mobility for the patient, so ROM exercises will not likely be included in the plan of care. There is no indication that an elastic bandage is needed.
