Answer to Question 1

place the patient in a Fowler's position

Rationale: The patient could be placed in a Fowler's position which is positioning the head higher than the feet.

Answer to Question 2

short

Rationale: Extremity imaging should achieve short or high contrast. Contrast should have fewer shades of gray and more black and white. Lower kVp should achieve high scale contrast.
