Answer to Question 1

D
The ACS recommends that 40-year-old women have an annual mammogram and a Pap smear every 2 to 3 years. Yearly fecal occult blood studies and sigmoidoscopy are recommended beginning at age 50.

Answer to Question 2

D
Postoperative positioning after a pneumonectomy is on the operated side to prevent the threat of tension pneumothorax with mediastinal shift and leakage from the amputated bronchial stump. The physician's order should always be checked before turning the patient or raising the head of the bed.
