Answer to Question 1

B
Medical treatment focuses on resting the affected hand(s), using splints to immobilize the hand and wrist, and taking anti-inflammatory medications. Surgery may be required to relieve pressure on the median nerve.

Answer to Question 2

B
Disaster triage systems are used in the event of a community disaster, either natural or man-made. A different approach to categorizing clients is required because of the potential for large numbers of casualties.
