Answer to Question 1

A
Disuse, atrophy, and shortening of the muscle fibres cause joint contractures. When a contracture occurs, the joint cannot obtain full range of motion (ROM). Contractures sometimes leave a joint or joints in a nonfunctional position, as seen in clients who are permanently curled in a fetal po-sition. Early prevention of contractures is key; they can begin to form after only eight hours of immobility in the older adult client.
Disuse atrophy can occur in eight hours, not 24 hours.
Disuse atrophy can occur in eight hours, not one week.
Disuse atrophy can occur in eight hours not one month.

Answer to Question 2

B

Feedback
A Global health embraces both prevention in populations and clinical care of individuals.

C International health embraces both prevention in populations and clinical care of individuals.
D Transcultural health is not a domain of health.

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.
