Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
A high Fowler's position is an elevation of 60 to 90.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The nurse, using alternative thinking techniques, should explain to the client that the situation could have been worse. Alternative thinking techniques are those that facilitate a change in a person's perceptions from negative to positive. Sedatives have a temporary effect in calming a person, but reframing the mind is a better way of coping with the stress. Advising the client to claim insurance would be inappropriate in this case and would not alleviate the client's agitation and stress.
