Answer to Question 1

have the patient take a few moments to sit up on the x-ray table before standing

Rationale: Once the patient is sitting up from a recumbent position, encourage them to take a few moments to regain their bearings before stepping down from the table. This will help to avoid falls.

Answer to Question 2

15-20 degrees medial

Rationale: An AP oblique mortise position requires the leg and foot to be medially rotated 15-20 degrees or until the intermalleolar line is parallel to the plane of the image receptor.

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.
