Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The health-care provider will remove excess synovial fluid via aspiration. Heat is not used for the first 24 hours. Immediate surgery may or may not be warranted. A knee reduction is performed for a dislocated knee.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
When using an elastic wrap, start wrapping distal to the injury, work up over the injury, and end the wrapping proximal to the injury. The other actions are correct.
