Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The nurse places the client in Fowler's position for a few minutes before dangling to maintain safety should the client feel dizzy or faint due to postural hypotension. The nurse lowers the height of the bed so that the client can use the floor for support. The nurse provides the client with a robe and slippers to maintain warmth and show respect for the client's modesty. The nurse helps the client pivot a quarter of a turn to swing the legs over the side and sit on the edge of the bed, which helps the client adjust to a sitting position.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The client performs quadriceps setting exercises by alternatively tensing and relaxing the quadriceps muscles. Modified hand push-ups in bed would enable the client to strengthen the upper arms. The client dangles or sits at the edge of the bed in order to normalize blood pressure. Gluteal setting is contraction and relaxation of the gluteal muscles in order to strengthen and tone them.
