Answer to Question 1

Ans: D

The nurse should place feet wide apart, with one foot in front and rock pelvis out on the side nearest the client. The nurse should grasp the gait belt and support the client by pulling his or her weight backward against his or her body, and then gently sliding the client down his or her body to the floor, protecting the client's head.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Antiembolism stockings may be removed (for example, during morning care to inspect the legs) without the primary care provider writing an order to discontinue them.
