Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The nurse should attach the hooks on the strap to the holes in the sling. Short straps hook to top holes of the sling; longer straps hook to the bottom of the sling. The horseshoe-shaped base goes under the side of the bed on the side with the chair. Position the patient and lower slowly into the chair in accordance with manufacturer guidelines to safely guide the patient into the back of the chair as the seat descends; then remove the straps and the mechanical/hydraulic lift.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The warm-up activity prepares the body for activity and decreases the potential for injury and should not be omitted. It usually lasts about 5 to 10 minutes and may include stretching, calisthenics, and/or aerobic activity performed at a lower intensity. The warm-up is before the exercise, while the cool-down period is after the exercise. The cool-down, not the warm-up, allows the body to readjust gradually to baseline functioning and provides an opportunity to combine movement such as stretching with relaxation-enhancing mind-body awareness. The warm-up should not be a high-intensity workout.
