Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Specific outcome criteria indicating a positive response to postural drainage are listed in the AARC Clinical Practice Guideline 40-1: Postural Drainage Therapy. Excerpts appear on pp. 959.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
When using the head-down position, the patient should avoid strenuous coughing, because this will markedly raise ICP.
