Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
It has been proven, for example, that normothermia, not hypothermia or hyperthermia, during surgery helps prevent surgical site infections (SSI) and other complications. Surgical clients are particularly vulnerable to hypothermia (abnormally low body temperature).

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Always leave the bed in low position when you have completed caring for the client. This is vital to prevent falls.
