Answer to Question 1

C
The Sims' position is used to examine the rectum, as it allows the rectal muscles to relax. It can be painful for clients with joint deformities.

Answer to Question 2

B
The environment should be as quiet as possible, and the nurse should take measures to preserve the client's privacy.
