Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Upper bed clothing does not weigh on the client's body or restrict movements but still covers his or her shoulders. Necessary supplies for bed making include clean linens, a tight bottom sheet to prevent wrinkles that might cause skin irritation. Adjustments in basic bed making may be necessary for comfort and to suit individual client conditions.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
When telephone service is disrupted, several other means of communicating with healthcare providers are available that include amateur radio ham operators, runners who transport messages on foot, and portable or handheld radios. The computer would not be appropriate to transport email messages because a telephone line is needed to activate the modem.
