Answer to Question 1

coining

Some Vietnamese place heated coins on the body to cure disease. This practice leaves welts that are sometimes mistaken for child abuse.

Answer to Question 2

compartment

When a limb is in traction or has been cast, the caregiver must check for adequate perfusion of the limb. Compartment syndrome occurs when the attendant edema from the injury or the traction compromises the circulation. This is an emergency and must be corrected before permanent damage can occur.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors.
