Answer to Question 1

A
Pinpoint pupils are a common sign of opioid intoxication. A thin white ring along the margin of the iris, called an arcus senilis, is common with aging but is abnormal in anyone less than age 40 . Cloudy pupils indicate cataracts. Continuous dilation of pupils results from neurological disorders, glaucoma, trauma, eye medication, or withdrawal from opioids.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, E
The following are trouble points that are common in the side-lying position:
 Lateral flexion of the neck
 Spinal curves out of normal alignment
 Shoulder and hip joints internally rotated, adducted, or unsupported
 Lack of support for the feet
 Lack of protection for pressure points at the ear, shoulder, anterior iliac spine, trochanter, and ankles
 Excessive lateral flexion of the spine if the patient has large hips and a pillow is not placed superior to the hips at the waist
