Answer to Question 1

D
All of the listed options are precipitating factors for retained secretions that can lead to atelectasis.

Answer to Question 2

E
Patients on warfarin should be advised to avoid foods that are high in vitamin K (which affects blood clotting), such as broccoli, spinach and other leafy green vegetables, liver, grapefruit, and grapefruit juice. Green tea may also need to be avoided. Orange juice is high in potassium, but this is unrelated to warfarin therapy.

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.
