Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback
A The flat position is used for patients with vertebral injuries and in cervical traction, for sleeping patients, and for those who are hypotensive.
B Fowler's position is preferred while the patient eats and is used during nasogastric tube insertion. This position promotes lung expansion.
C Trendelenburg's bed position is used for postural drainage.
D Semi-Fowler's position promotes lung expansion and is used when patients receive gastric feedings to reduce regurgitation and risk of aspiration.

Answer to Question 2

C
When you are a student in a clinical setting, confidentiality and compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) are part of professional practice. When a student nurse shares patient information with a friend, confidentiality and HIPAA standards have been violated. You can review your patients' medical records only to seek information needed to provide safe and effective patient care. For example, when you are assigned to care for a patient, you need to review the patient's medical record and plan of care. You do not share this information with classmates and you do not access the medical records of other patients on the unit.
