Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
The nurse would ask the client to cross the arms across the chest, and cross the legs. This facilitates the turning motion and protects the client's arms during the move. Or, if the client is able, the nurse may ask the client to assist by grasping the bed rail on the side toward which the client is turning.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
The nurse would ask the client to fold the arms across the chest and lift the head with the chin on the chest. Positioning in this manner provides assistance, reduces friction, and prevents hyperextension of the neck.
