Answer to Question 1

D
Clean the prosthesis by washing it with mild soap and warm water or plain saline solution by rubbing well between the thumb and index finger. Position the patient in sitting or supine position with the head elevated. Provide privacy. With the thumb or forefinger of the dominant hand, gently retract the lower eyelid against the lower orbital ridge. Never use alcohol or other products because they are harmful to the prosthesis.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, D
Some patients are at high risk for complications from improper positioning and have increased risk for injury during transfer. Examples include patients with poor nutrition, poor circulation, loss of sensation, alterations in bone formation or joint mobility, and impaired muscle development.
