Answer to Question 1

2. It might be quite painful..

Rationale:
The colonoscopy is not a painful examination. It usually takes about an hour. The client will be given conscious sedation, which causes drowsiness. Tissue samples are often taken during colonscopies.

Answer to Question 2

C
The patient who is to have endotracheal suctioning should be in a high sitting position as seen with high Fowler's. The patient should not be lying flat or supine, in a side-lying position, or in the Sims' position.
