Answer to Question 1

2. Elevating the affected extremity.

Rationale:
Elevating the affected extremity will reduce edema and promote perfusion. Elevating the head of bed, leaving the head of bed flat, and abducting the extremity will not increase healing or improve the client's long-range prognosis.

Answer to Question 2

C
An oral airway is used to maintain the tongue away from the posterior oropharynx in the unconscious patient. A tracheostomy is inserted via a surgical procedure by creating an opening in the trachea below the cricoid cartilage and inserting a semirigid plastic tube. Endotracheal tubes bypass the upper airway structures.

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.
