Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Clients are generally expected to participate in their care in an active way. A passive and deferent demeanor is not encouraged, though cooperation and adherence to treatment are expected. Clients should not be made to feel guilty for requiring time and attention from care providers. Some clients are highly knowledgeable about their health problems, but this is not necessarily an expectation of all clients.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The gluteal muscles aid the client in extending the legs. As a group, the gluteal muscles in the buttocks aid in extending, abducting, and rotating the legs; these functions are essential to walking. Exercising the quadriceps enables clients to stand and support their body weight. Exercises such as modified hand push-ups help in strengthening the upper arms.
