Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Dorsal lithotomy position is lying on the back, with the feet in stirrups. The lateral position is lying on the side. The supine position may be modified by bending the knees and placing the feet flat on the bed. Trendelenburg position, the head-down position, lying with the head lower than the feet, is used to treat shock, by promoting blood flow to the brain. This position is also used for some portions of postural drainage, to help drain secretions from particular segments of the lungs. Reverse Trendelenburg position may be used to enhance tube feeding and as an emergency procedure to help stop bleeding in a head injury.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Some clients may say that their patch fell off. It is important to make sure they do not have the old patch somewhere because some clients are seeking double doses of medications, particularly nicotine or pain medications.
