Answer to Question 1

D
Instruct the patient to place right hand over incisional area to splint it, providing support and minimizing pulling during turning. Closing one's eyes, holding one's breath, and holding the nurse's shoulders do not help support the incision during a turn.

Answer to Question 2

The incidence of hypertension is greater in diabetic patients, older adults, and African Americans.
