Answer to Question 1

B
A foot boot may be used to help maintain dorsiflexion and prevent footdrop.
A trapeze bar is not used to keep the foot in dorsiflexion. A trapeze bar is used to assist the client in mobility.
A trochanter roll prevents external rotation of the hips when the client is in a supine position. It is not used to prevent footdrop.
Thirty-degree lateral positioning does not prevent plantar flexion. It may be used for clients at risk for pressure ulcers.

Answer to Question 2

C

Feedback
A Otosclerosis is a hereditary condition resulting in hardening of the ossicles and gradual and progressive hearing loss.
B Otitis media is an infection in the middle ear.
C Presbycusis is a common progressive hearing disorder in older adults that results in the inability to hear high-pitched sounds.
D Mnire's disease is a disorder of the inner ear characterized by hearing loss, tinnitus, and vertigo.
