Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: Flexing the hips and knees gives the nurse the leverage to move the client without damaging the back. The nurse could fall with both feet together because there is not a broad base of support. Working with the bed in the low position can cause muscle strain on the back because the nurse must lean over to reach the client. Twisting while moving a client can cause back injuries.

Answer to Question 2

3,5,1,4,2
Rationale 1: The nurse explains the procedure as the nursing order is carried out.
