Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Since the client's word recall is diminished, the nurse should demonstrate the position to convey the message. Using illustrations, photographs, or simple and clear words to convey the message would also help, but would not be relevant for a client with reduced word recall.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Physiotherapy is an example of extended care. It does not involve acute care and is not compulsorily done on hospital premises. The hospital providing surgical facilities is a tertiary care center. The client, after being discharged from tertiary care, joins a physiotherapy unit for extended care.
