Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback
A Sitting upright provides full expansion of lungs and provides better visualization of symmetry of upper body parts.
B The supine position maximizes the nurse's ability to assess pulse sites.
C The prone position is used only to assess extension of the hip joint.
D The dorsal recumbent position is used for abdominal assessment because it promotes relaxation of abdominal muscles.

Answer to Question 2

A

Feedback
A The client's request would be of low priority because it is not directly related to a specific illness or prognosis.
B An unmet need is not the most appropriate label for the client's request.
C The client's request is not an intermediate priority. An intermediate priority is one that involves the nonemergency, nonlife-threatening needs of the client.
D The client's request is not a safety and security need; the outcome does not threaten her well-being.
