Ans: A, B, E
Feedback:
Benefits of massage include increased comfort, relaxation, and improved sleep. In addition, research has demonstrated that the therapeutic effects of massage on clients who have had a stroke include improvements in blood pressure and heart rate. Effects have been seen to last up to 3 days after a massage. To prevent pressure ulcers, massage is no longer indicated for high-risk clients because vigorous pressure over bony prominences can damage the underlying tissue. People with oily skin find that alcohol is a cooling and refreshing lubricant.
