Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A pressure ulcer occurs when there is sufficient pressure to collapse the blood vessels.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Filling the cup half full promotes safety and does not change the flavor of the beverage, nor does it demean the patient as would making him or her wear a bib or apron.
