Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
When positioning the client in Fowler's position, allow the head to rest against the mattress or use only a small pillow. Support the forearms on pillows, with the hand slightly elevated above the forearm. Do not use the knee gatch to raise the knees.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Scoliosis is the lateral deviation of the thoracic spine. Concave curvature of the cervical spine, convex curvature of the thoracic spine, and concave curvature of the lumbar spine are the characteristics of a normal spinal alignment.
