Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Plan for prolonged power outages. Keep flashlights, battery-powered lamps, portable radio, and extra batteries handy. Keep a first-aid kit stocked and on hand. Store 1 gallon of water per person in your household per day, and adequate food supplies to last 4 days.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Moist heat compresses help in relieving local pain. Heat causes vasodilation, which increases blood flow to the area where heat was applied. This increases the amount of oxygen, nutrients, and white blood cells (WBCs) delivered to body tissues. Cold compresses help in controlling hemorrhage, reducing edema, and blocking pain receptors.
