Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Asking if the client has had his blood glucose levels measured with a glucometer before provides the nurse with a basis for teaching. This action does not reduce glucose levels, but determines whether test strips are appropriate or maximizes the accuracy of the test.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The nurse has helped the client to assume the kneechest position, also known as the genupectoral position. This position is assumed for gynecologic or rectal examination. In the Sims' position, the client lies on the left side with the chest leaning forward, the right knee bent toward the head, the right arm forward, and the left arm extended behind the body. The dorsal recumbent position is a reclining position with the knees bent, hips rotated outward, and feet flat. The lithotomy position is a reclining position with the feet in metal supports called stirrups. In the Sims' position, the client lies on the left side with the chest leaning forward, the right knee bent toward the head, the right arm forward, and the left arm extended behind the body.
