Answer to Question 1

ANS: T
Venous impedance plethysmography is a technique for measuring venous reflux in the lower extremity. Impedance electrodes are attached to the calf under a pneumatic boot. As the boot is inflated, blood is forced proximally out of the veins. Tissues are compressed, causing a concomitant increase in impedance and decrease in calf volume.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
A patient's current weight should be documented in kilograms because many drug dosages are calculated according to milligrams per kilogram.
