Answer to Question 1

Preemptive analgesia
Preemptive analgesia is a method of preventing pain while reducing overall opioid use.

Answer to Question 2

A
Position the patient sitting upright. This promotes full lung expansion during examination. Patients with chronic respiratory disease will likely need to sit up throughout the examination because of shortness of breath. Only if the patient is unable to tolerate sitting would a supine position or a side-lying position be used.
