Answer to Question 1

B
If TB is suspected, permission to place the patient in acid-fast bacilli (AFB) isolation precautions should be requested immediately.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
All of these choices are valid reasons for asking a patient to get out of bed, but A is the best one. Without exercise, the resident is likely to develop varicose veins and stasis ulcers. A bed-ridden patient can be turned to prevent pressure ulcers, and making the bed is possible, though more difficult, while the patient is in it. Psychological health is aided by exercise, but that can be promoted in other ways (such as getting enough sleep) as well.
