Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

A
A. An application should last only 20 to 30 minutes. Providing a timer for the client will help prevent injury to the tissue.
B. The temperature setting is fixed by inserting a plastic key into the temperature regulator. In many institutions, the central supply room sets the regulators to the recommended temperature.

D. The recommended temperature is 105 F to 110 F. It should not be used at the highest temperature that is tolerated by the client.
