Answer to Question 1

A
A, B, C, and D. Optimum positioning for a client receiving an injection to the vastus lateralis muscle is flat, supine with the knees slightly flexed.

Answer to Question 2

D
For access to the frontal and maxillary sinus, tilt the head back over the edge of the bed or pillow with the head turned toward the side to be treated. This position allows medication to drain into the affected sinus. For access to the posterior pharynx, tilt the patient's head backward. For access to the ethmoid or sphenoid sinus, tilt the head back over the edge of the bed or place a small pillow under the patient's shoulder and tilt the head back.
