Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer:
Rationale : Bone marrow biopsies are done on the sternum and iliac crests

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Lying in the lateral position with the head bent toward the chest and knees flexed onto the abdomen is the correct position for a lumbar puncture. In this position the back is arched, increasing the spaces between the vertebrae so that the spinal needle can be readily inserted.
Rationale 2: Lying prone with knees down toward the abdomen would position the client too high for the physician and could lead to increased intracranial pressure.
Rationale 3: Sitting would not arch the back enough to increase the space between the vertebrae for puncture.
Rationale 4: Supine with knees pulled toward the chest does not expose the vertebrae to be punctured.
