Answer to Question 1

D
An inability to bear weight on the affected extremity is indicative of a more serious injury. With a fracture, general manifestations include pain or tenderness at the site, immobility or decreased range of motion, deformity of the extremity, edema, and inability to bear weight. A decrease in swelling after icing does not identify the degree of the injury. Localized tenderness along with limited joint mobility may indicate serious injury, but an inability to bear weight on the extremity is a more reliable sign. The degree of swelling does not indicate how serious the injury is.

Answer to Question 2

B, C
When a Christian Science believer is hospitalized, a parent or client may request that a Christian Science practitioner be notified. Christian Science believers seek exemption from immunizations but obey legal requirements. Coffee and tea are declined as a drink.
Baptism is not a ceremony for the Christian Science religion.
