Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

C
Physiological changes associated with aging and prolonged bed rest may influence the effectiveness of the baroreceptors. For these patients, moving to the dangling position may cause a gravity-induced drop in blood pressure; thus, it is recommended to raise the head of the bed and allow a few minutes before dangling. Interventions to minimize orthostatic hypotension include movement of the legs and feet in the dangling position to promote venous return via intermittent contraction and relaxation of the skeletal leg muscles, and asking the patient to take several deep breaths before and during dangling. Dangling a patient before standing is an intermediate step that allows assessment of the individual before changing positions to maintain safety and prevent injury to the patient.
