Answer to Question 1

D
Proper positioning used with other therapies (e.g., anticoagulants and antiembolic stockings) helps reduce thrombus formation. When positioning patients, use caution to prevent pressure on the posterior knee and deep veins in the lower extremities. Teach patients to avoid crossing the legs, sitting for prolonged periods of time, wearing tight clothing that constricts the legs or waist, putting pillows under the knees, and massaging the legs.

Answer to Question 2

B
Acculturation is the process of adapting to and adopting a new culture and results in varying degrees of affiliation with the dominant culture.
