Answer to Question 1

C
Secretions accumulate in patients with bronchitis, asthma, cystic fibrosis, pneumonia, and bronchiectasis. Contraindications for postural drainage include pulmonary edema associated with congestive heart failure, active hemoptysis, and pulmonary embolism.

Answer to Question 2

B, D
Patients should wear a medical alert bracelet or carry an identification card noting the presence of seizure disorder and listing medications taken. Without a medical alert bracelet or identification noting the presence of seizure disorder and medications taken, just having the medications at work or home will not necessarily mean that the appropriate treatment will be started. A seizure condition usually imposes driving limitations. It is recommended that a waiting period of 1 seizure-free year elapses before the patient attempts to drive or operate dangerous equipment.
