Answer to Question 1

C
Raise the level of the bed to a comfortable working height. This raises the level of work toward the nurse's center of gravity and reduces the risk for back injury. Proper positioning reduces stress on the joints. The patient's comfort level should increase. The nurse should remove all pillows and devices used in the previous position. This reduces interference from bedding during the positioning procedure. The nurse should get extra help as needed. This provides for patient and nurse safety.

Answer to Question 2

A
A. Assess vital signs if client complains of dizziness or lightheadedness to determine if vascular response to vasodilation has occurred.
B. Vasodilation causes a drop in blood pressure.
C. Increased local discomfort is a local reaction, not a result of systemic vasodilation.
D. Redness and irritation at the wound site is a local reaction, not systemic vasodilation.
