C
It is preferable to use the 30-degree lateral incline position.

Answer to Question 2

A
Objective data are observable and measurable signs. Objective data can be recorded. A camera can record a rash, a skin lesion, or puffy eyes. A tape recorder can give evidence of crying or slurred speech. A thermometer can record a temperature elevation. Other terms for objective data are signs and objective cues. The patient is jaundiced is an example of objective data. All other options are examples of subjective data.
