Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Heat increases blood flow to the affected area and promotes healing of injured nerves. Stretching and ice will not promote healing, and there is no need to avoid warm baths or showers.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Exercise can strengthen back muscles, reducing the incidence of low back pain. The other options will not prevent low back pain.
