Answer to Question 1

4, 5, 1, 2, 3
4,5,1,2,3
The order that is most organized is inform, roll up head of bed, dangle, apply belt, and assist to stand.

Answer to Question 2

B
A thready pulse is difficult to feel and is not palpable when only slight pressure is applied. A weak pulse is somewhat stronger than a thready pulse but not palpable when light pressure is applied. A normal pulse is easily felt but not palpable when moderate pressure is applied. A bounding pulse feels full and springlike even under moderate pressure.
