Answer to Question 1

3. Fevers are most frequently seen in children because of developing immunity..

Rationale:
The very young and the very old have diminishing immunity, which places them at risk for fevers. Fevers are most frequently seen in children because of developing immunity. The nurse has no way of knowing if the client's immunity is compromised. The child may or may not be around people with illnesses. Common diseases of childhood frequently result in fevers.

Answer to Question 2

D
A hand-wrist splint is individually contoured for each person and maintains thumb adduction and opposition to the fingers.
