Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Ideally, patients should put each joint through its range of motion at least once per day. Passive range of motion can be performed by nurses and exercises should be performed slowly and steadily, but not as slowly as possible. Heart disease does not categorically contraindicate the performance of range-of-motion exercises.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, F
Common causes of conductive hearing loss are buildup of cerumen and otitis media with effusion (escape of effusion). Other conditions that may result in conductive hearing loss are foreign bodies, otosclerosis, and stenosis of the external auditory canal. Sensorineural hearing loss is usually due to trauma, infectious processes, or exposure to ototoxic drugs.
