Answer to Question 1

C
During immobility, the muscle atrophies, and the size of the muscle decreases. As immobility progresses and muscles are not exercised, muscle mass continues to decrease, not increase. Immobilization increases (not decreases) the rate of bone resorption, which results in reduced (not elevated) bone tissue density.

Answer to Question 2

B
The lithotomy position provides maximal exposure of the rectal area. The supine position is used to assess the head, neck, anterior thorax, lungs, breasts, axillae, heart, abdomen, extremities, and pulses. It is the most normally relaxed position. The knee-chest position is used to examine the rectum. The dorsal recumbent position is used to assess the head, neck, anterior thorax, lungs, breasts, axillae, heart, and abdomen. This position is used for abdominal assessment because it promotes relation of abdominal muscles.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
