Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
The nurse would position the bed so that the client is lying flat on his/her back and then raise the bed to a comfortable working height. This facilitates moving the client to the side in order to perform the turn in bed.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
The nurse would adjust the head of the bed to a flat position or slight Trendelenburg, as low as the patient can tolerate. Flat positioning helps to decrease the gravitational pull of the upper body.
