Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Diuretics should be taken in the morning to avoid night time diuresis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Lung fields are assessed in a sitting (Fowler's) position to detect abnormal lung sounds. Prone, supine, and Sims positions are not the best positions to detect abnormal lung sounds.
