Answer to Question 1

C
Assist the patient to a side-lying position if sitting is contraindicated by the patient's condition. This decreases the risk for aspiration during swallowing. Swallowing is difficult or impossible in the prone position. The risk for aspiration is increased when the patient is swallowing in the supine position or in the dorsal recumbent position.

Answer to Question 2

B
