Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The patient is given general anesthesia in the supine position on the transport cart, intubated and catheterized, then is turned into the prone position onto the specialized frame or operating table.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Many body systems are affected by scoliosis. Chest excursion and respiratory effort are altered by the deformity that results in the rib cage. Digestion can be impaired. The patient may also have an altered and unsteady gait.
