Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Giving a breath that lasts a full second reduces the potential for distending the esophagus and stomach, which may promote regurgitation and aspiration. Chest compression increases pressure in the ventricles, increases pressure in thoracic blood vessels, and also promotes systemic blood flow.

Answer to Question 2

A
When moving a client up in the bed, ensure that the bed is at waist height to lessen the strain on the nurse's back.
