Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Remission is a temporary state of disappearance of the signs and symptoms related to a particular disease. It is of short duration, but the duration is unpredictable. It is a condition opposite to exacerbation, which is characterized by reactivation of symptoms. Remission is not permanent, but is rather a temporary relief from signs and symptoms. Exacerbation is the periodic occurrence of disease in clients with chronic diseases.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Some clients with strong arm and upper body muscles can use a transfer board independently. Transfer boards are positioned in such a way that the client's buttocks or body can slide acrosswhat would otherwise be an open space or a gap in height between two surfaces. A transfer handle, transfer belt, or transfer bed would not be suitable in this case because the client has polio and his lower body is not active. A transfer belt is used as a walking belt to provide safety and security while assisting a client with ambulation. A transfer handle supports the client's weight when exiting and returning to bed, but in this case, the client is unable to walk independently.
