Answer to Question 1

B
Facing the direction of movement ensures proper balance and prevents twisting of the nurses' bodies while moving the client.
Facing the client is not the correct position for the nurses to take.
Facing each other is not the correct position for the nurses to take.
Facing opposite the direction of movement is not the correct position for the nurses to take.

Answer to Question 2

A
A 2007 study by the Fraser Institute revealed that 74 of Canadians had used complementary or alternative medicine at some point in their lives.
Clients on private insurance plans must pay for alternative therapies.
The interest in complementary and alternative medicine is evident in the increased number of articles about it in respected medical journals, and the development of several journals that spe-cifically focus on complementary and alternative medicine.
People who use complementary and alternative medicine are usually women with a post high-school- or college-level education.
