Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Orthopedic beds keep the body in straight, flat alignment. The flotation mattress supports the body to avoid creating pressure points. An egg crate mattress provides comfort, because it is shaped like an egg carton, but it does not prevent skin breakdown. Therapeutic beds are used to treat clients with severe joint contractures.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
If the skin becomes mottled or numb, not ashen, jaundice or greenish, remove the ice pack immediately. This indicates that the pack was too cold.
