Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
When reinserting dentures, replace the upper dentures first.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D, E
Ambulating with a person who has an identified weakness requires that the nurse walk on the same side as the weakness, slightly behind the patient, with the nurse's near leg behind the patient's knee. The nurse should use a gait belt and hold the patient at the waist and the gait belt. Furniture can be used as support.
