Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The nurse has placed the client in the dorsal recumbent position to inspect the infection on the client's genitals. 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. In the kneechest position, also called the genupectoral position, the client rests on the knees and chest.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
During the administration of medication, the nurse should encourage the client to keep the head in a neutral position or with a slight flexion, rather than hyperextending the neck, so as to protect the airway during administration. The nurse should check the client's wristband to confirm the identity. The nurse should ask the client to take medication one at a time or in amounts easily swallowed, rather than taking all the tablets together, to prevent choking. The nurse should assist the client to a sitting position rather than raising the head of the bed to 30.
