Answer to Question 1

2
Evidence that care has been effective for a client recovering from an injured Achilles tendon would be that the client plans to participate in rehabilitation for 5 to 6 months after the injury. Steroid injections are not used for this type of injury. Sports activities should be avoided until the injury has healed and rehabilitation is completed. Cryotherapy, not heat, is used to decrease the inflammation and swelling from the injury.

Answer to Question 2

3
The destruction to the liver from alcohol often progresses from fatty liver to alcoholic hepatitis and culminates in alcoholic cirrhosis. Alcoholic cirrhosis accounts for a great number of individuals diagnosed with this disease. Cirrhosis is not associated with being in the military, traveling to a foreign country, or eating bad food.
