Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Efforts to eradicate health disparities are often rooted in the belief that health care is a right. The belief that health care is a limited resource underlies views of the preciousness of preserving health. Personal responsibility is foundational to the view of individual ownership of one's health status. It is unrealistic to believe that health is inevitable.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Trochanter rolls prevent the legs from turning outward. The trochanters are the bony protrusions at the head of the femur near the hip. Placing a positioning device at the trochanters helps to prevent the leg from rotating outward. Hand rolls are devices that preserve the client's functional ability to grasp and pick up objects. A roller sheet is a helpful positioning device that prevents skin breakdown. A firm and comfortable mattress is used to permit good body alignment and prevent unnatural curvature of the spine.
