b. absorb shock, distribute weight across the joint, reduce friction, mobilize the joint by improving joint congruency, and guide the pathway of motion.
c. absorb shock, distribute weight across the joint, reduce friction, stabilize the joint by improving joint congruency, and guide the pathway of motion.

You receive a call to a residence for an apneic 2-month-old male. When you arrive at the scene, the infant's mother tells you that her son was born prematurely and that his apnea monitor has alarmed 4 times in the past 30 minutes. Your assessment of the infant reveals that he is conscious and active. His skin is pink and dry, and he is breathing at an adequate rate and with adequate tidal depth. His oxygen saturation reads 98% on room air. You should:
A. request an ALS ambulance to transport the infant to the hospital. B. advise the mother to observe her son and call 9-1-1 again if necessary. C. administer high-flow oxygen and observe for a drop in oxygen saturation. D. transport the infant to the hospital and bring the apnea monitor with you.
