2. What is the most common method of reducing and immobilizing a fracture?

A. Open reduction with external fixation
B. External reduction and internal fixation
C. External fixation with closed reduction
D. Open reduction with internal fixation

3. The nurse uses proper body mechanics to move a client up in bed. What action by the nurse will increase their risk of a workplace injury?

A. Place the bed in the lowest possible position
B. Use the legs when lifting
C. Keep feet apart to provide a wide base of support
D. Face the direction of the movement

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Placing the bed in the lowest possible position increases the risk of injury because it does not support proper body mechanics. When lifting a client, it is important to have the bed at a comfortable height to avoid strain. Using the legs when lifting (choice B) is correct as it reduces the strain on the back. Keeping feet apart to provide a wide base of support (choice C) helps with stability and balance. Facing the direction of the movement (choice D) is essential for maintaining proper alignment and reducing the risk of injury.
