Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Deep relaxation techniques help in relieving pain by relaxing taut muscles. Guided imagery technique for pain management helps the client to visualize the destruction of the origin of pain. This procedure is often used for individuals who have cancer; they learn to change their pain perceptions and are able to tolerate discomfort. Activities and craft projects distract and divert the client's attention from the pain. Application of heat to a localized area of pain causes vasodilation and provides pain relief.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
If the client is in isolation or deemed infectious, the temperature indicator is not shared. The disposable single-use thermometer, not the tympanic, temporal, or rectal thermometer, is most often used in such environments.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
