Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The nurses should remember to keep their knees, thighs, and ankles flexed slightly to absorb jolts when lifting. The nurses should not keep their feet together. The feet should be slightly apart to provide a wider base of support. The nurses should not keep their feet at the same level when lifting. One foot should be placed slightly in front of the other for back-to-front stability. The nurses should not twist their bodies in the direction of the turn to prevent injury to their backs. They should move their feet to turn the object being moved.
