Answer to Question 1

C
C. To ensure that the lens is over the cornea, reposition using gentle pressure.
A. Removing the lens would not be necessary until correct positioning is ensured.
B. Rapid blinking could dislodge the lens.
D. This technique would not ensure correct placement of the lens.

Answer to Question 2

C
Unless contraindicated (e.g., head injury, neck trauma), lower the side rail and position the patient on the side (Sims' position) with the head turned well toward the dependent side and the head of the bed lowered. Raise the side rail. This allows secretions to drain from the mouth instead of collecting in the back of the pharynx and prevents aspiration. This position allows secretions to drain toward the lungs as a result of gravity.
