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.

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.
