Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Aspirin is indicated for the client diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis who has no other contraindications. The prescription for aspirin is not appropriate for the other clients.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

Platform crutches are used for clients who are unable to bear weight on their wrists. A walker, axillary crutches, and Lofstrand crutches all require the use of the wrists.
