Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Specific outcome criteria indicating a positive response to postural drainage are listed in the AARC Clinical Practice Guideline 40-1: Postural Drainage Therapy. Excerpts appear on pp. 959.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
When using the head-down position, the patient should avoid strenuous coughing, because this will markedly raise ICP.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
