Answer to Question 1

B
This position is assumed by instinct as it occludes the venous return, reducing the work of the right side of the heart and improving oxygenation.

Answer to Question 2

A

Feedback
A Correct: A debriefing session with an opportunity to work through their own feelings of self-blame, grief, or guilt would most help these nurses. Debriefing sessions and support groups may be a routine part of work environments to support nurses after a client successfully commits suicide.
B Incorrect: Details of how the adolescent planned and went about the work of killing himself would not most help these nurses.
C Incorrect: A visit to the funeral home to view the adolescent and talk with his family and friends would not most help these nurses.
D Incorrect: Talking with the caregivers or parents of the adolescent who committed suicide would not most help these nurses.
