A, C, & E!

Developmentally, adolescents have a drive for independence, an inclination for risk-taking, and a feeling of indestructibility. These traits increase the risk for injury. If one develops problems in the water, the buddy can secure help. Using well-traveled walkways reduces the risk for being alone and overcome by an individual who wishes to do harm. Refusing to play 'chicken' helps the student avoid him- or herself in dangerous situations from which the student cannot retreat. Beer is alcohol, and its intake, and that of all types of alcohol, should be discouraged; when one is under the influence of alcohol, reaction time and judgment decrease and the risk for injury increases. Smoking should be discouraged to decrease the risk for respiratory disease.

Thiazide diuretics are potassium-depleting agents; broccoli provides 267 mg of potassium per 100 grams. Apples provide 80 to 110 mg of potassium per 100 grams of fruit. Cherries provide 191 mg of potassium per 100 g of fruit. Cauliflower provides 206 mg of potassium per 100 g.

Because of its antiinflammatory effect, acetylsalicylic acid is useful in treating arthritis symptoms. Opioids should be avoided because they promote drug dependency and do not affect the inflammatory process. Alprazolam is an antianxiety, not an antiinflammatory, agent.
B!

Shearing force is the pressure exerted on the skin when a debilitated client is pulled up in bed without a drawsheet, or when the client slides down in bed. With shearing, the skin adheres to the bed linens while the layers of subcutaneous tissue and bone slide in the direction of the body movements, causing a tearing of the skin. Using a drawsheet can reduce and minimize friction and shearing force. Maintaining the head of the bed at 35 degrees or less, repositioning the client at least every 2 hours and supporting with pillows and at least once every 8 hours, and performing passive range-of-motion exercises of all extremities are all appropriate interventions to prevent further pressure injury and to promote circulation, but they are not as effective as using a drawsheet in prevention of shearing force.
