Answer to Question 1

C
Position patients with spinal anesthetic supine, without elevation of the head, for up to 24 hours to prevent spinal headache from loss of cerebrospinal fluid. Increased IV or PO fluids aid the body in replacing cerebrospinal fluid.

Answer to Question 2

D
Help a patient choose the most appropriate thermometer to use in the home based on the patient's dexterity, vision, and financial resources. For example, a patient with visual changes from glaucoma or retinopathy is able to read more easily a thermometer with a large digital display. The need for an oral, rectal, or axillary temperature depends on the patient's age and health status.
