Answer to Question 1

B, C, D, E
Bending the knees with a straight back while crouching to lift an item off the floor, using a lum-bar pillow or roll when sitting for long periods, exercising twice a day, and maintaining proper body weight are actions that indicate correct lower back care. The patient should carry items close to the center of the body rather than away from the center of the body.
