Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The 30-degree lateral position places weight on the gluteus muscle, avoiding weight-bearing on bony prominences such as the trochanter, sacrum, and ischium.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The bleeding, swelling, and receding gums of gingivitis ultimately lead to tooth loss.
