Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
When in lithotomy position, lung compliance is decreased by pressure of the thighs on the abdomen, which hinders the descent of the diaphragm.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Nonsterile equipment that must stand near the sterile field is isolated from the sterile area by a barrier drape. The anesthesia provider or circulating nurse fastens the drape to IV poles on each side of the equipment that stands above the level of the sterile field or near it. The drape over the patient or a separate single sheet is extended from the OR bed upward in front of or over the nonsterile equipment.
