Answer to Question 1

A
A. A sitting position promotes optimal lung expansion.
B. The client should inhale slowly and deeply for maximum lung expansion with minimal risk of collapse of alveoli.
C. The client should hold the breath for 2 to 5 seconds.
D. The client should exhale slowly.

Answer to Question 2

D
Gentle pressure for 30 to 60 seconds prevents bleeding at the site. To minimize the pain and bruising associated with low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH), it is given subcutaneously on the right or left side of the abdomen, at least 2 inches away from the umbilicus; this area is commonly referred to as a patient's love handles. LMWH comes in a prefilled syringe, and the air bubble should not be expelled before administration. Aspiration after a subcutaneous injection is not necessary. Aspiration after an LMWH injection is not recommended.
