To wrap an elastic roller bandage (ACE) on the client's arm, wrap the bandage around the client's limb twice, below the joint, to anchor it. Use alternating ascending and descending turns to form a figure eight. Overlap each turn of the bandage by one-half to two-thirds the width of the strip. Fasten the end securely.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Topical application (applied directly to the skin or mucous membranes) can cause a local effect. Anti-inflammatory creams and lotions and medications to relieve itching are examples of medications used for their local effects. These may be applied to the mucous membranes of the eye, mouth, nose, throat, vagina, or rectum by instillation, irrigation, swabbing, or spraying. Rectal suppositories are most often used as laxatives (a systemic effect), and antibiotic injections and meter-dosed inhalers cause systemic effects.
