Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The use of proper body mechanics increases muscle effectiveness, reduces fatigue, and helps to avoid repetitive strain injuries or disorders that result from cumulative trauma to musculoskeletal structures. Body mechanics alone will not necessarily prevent skin breakdown, or increase circulation. Correct body mechanics have the potential to increase, rather than limit, range of motion.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Gastritis in this case is an acute illness because the onset is sudden. Acute illnesses affect for a short duration and are cured in a short time. Acute illnesses are not necessarily difficult to treat and are often curable. On the other hand, chronic illnesses have a gradual onset and require a longer period to be cured. In some cases, the illness may remain for a lifetime.
