Answer to Question 1

1

Rationale: The client is placed in the left Sims position for the procedure. This position uses the client's anatomy to the best advantage for introducing the colonoscope. The left Sims position would also be used for giving the client an enema while lying down. Therefore lithotomy, knee chest, and right Sims are incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

1

Rationale: Although HBV is transmitted in breast milk, after immune globulin has been admin-istered to the newborn, the woman may breast-feed without risk to the newborn. The remaining options are incorrect responses.
