Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The lithotomy position is a reclining position with the feet in metal supports called stirrups. It is used to facilitate gynecologic (female reproductive), urologic, and sometimes rectal examinations. The dorsal recumbent position is a reclining position with the knees bent, hips rotated outward, and feet flat. In the Sims' position, the client lies on the left side with the chest leaning forward and the right knee bent toward the head. In the kneechest position, the client rests on the knees and chest.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
A nurse should never administer medications prepared by another nurse. The nurse administers only those medications that he or she has prepared. The nurse should prepare and bring oral medications to the client's bedside in a paper or plastic cup, not in a glass container or ceramic cup, in order to avoid accidents and spills. The nurse checks the label of the medication container three times when preparing it, not when administering it to the client.
