Answer to Question 1

B
There is no advantage to dangling your legs rather than just getting out of bed. Prolonged bed rest is known to lead to blood clots. All of the other listed options are helpful in preventing blood clots.

Answer to Question 2

D
General anesthesia, head trauma, seizure disorders, and alcohol abuse are among the factors that can predispose a patient to aspiration of oropharyngeal secretions and/or gastric contents into the lower airway.
