1. What medication class can decrease tissue inflammation but delays bone healing?

• A. Anticoagulants
• B. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
• C. Opioids
• D. Narcotics

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). NSAIDs are known to decrease tissue inflammation but may delay bone healing. Anticoagulants (Choice A) are used to prevent blood clotting, opioids (Choice C) are pain relievers, and narcotics (Choice D) are drugs that affect the central nervous system. While all the choices may have their own indications and uses in healthcare, NSAIDs are specifically associated with delaying bone healing despite their anti-inflammatory properties.

2. What device would be best to use for a client who is immobile?

• A. Standing assist device
• B. A mechanical lift
• C. Transfer board
• D. Gait belt

Correct answer: B

Rationale: A mechanical lift is the most suitable device for a client who is immobile as it provides safe and efficient assistance in moving the individual. A standing assist device is used for support during standing activities, not for transferring an immobile client. A transfer board is helpful for assisting a client in sliding from one surface to another but may not be the best option for someone who is completely immobile. A gait belt is used for providing support and stability during walking or transferring, which may not be effective for a client who is immobile and requires more comprehensive assistance.
