Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
The low-Fowler's position permits either arm to be used and allows for good body alignment.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is a highly concentrated nutrient solution consisting of dextrose, amino acids, and select electrolytes, vitamins, minerals, and trace elements that must be infused through a central vein because of its hypertonic nature. TPN frequently is given to clients with severe inflammatory bowel disease, severe pancreatitis, or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), who are unable to meet their nutritional needs through the oral or enteral routes.
