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.
