Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
The dorsal recumbent position is used to assess the head, neck, anterior thorax, lungs, heart, breasts, extremities, and peripheral pulses. The prone position is used to assess the hip joint and posterior thorax. The standing position is used to assess posture, balance, and gait. The lithotomy position is used to assess female genitalia and rectum.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
The nurse and client should agree on a time for the assessment. The room (or area) should be private, quiet, and warm enough to prevent chilling, and it should have adequate lighting, either by sunlight or overhead fixtures. Family members may remain, especially if they are needed to explain activities to the client. A nursing assessment does not require a physician's order.
