Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3, 4
The guidelines for proper body mechanics include spreading the feet apart to broaden the base of support; using the large muscles of the legs to push when lifting; positioning the body as close to the object as possible before lifting or moving it; sliding, rolling, pushing, or pulling an object rather than lifting it; and bending the knees and lifting up over one's own center of gravity. Bending at the waist is not recommended.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
The manifestations of postpoliomyelitis syndrome include progressive muscle weakness, fatigue, and pain, leading to muscle atrophy and scoliosis. The presence of the postpoliomyelitis syndrome does not indicate that a resurgence of polio is likely. The respiratory complications that may occur would be related to muscular weakness and would not require quarantine. Having postpoliomyelitis syndrome does not mean the patient has active polio.
