a. Moving rapidly from a standing position to a sitting position can raise blood pressure and increase the patient’s risk for a stroke. b. Moving rapidly from a standing position to a sitting position can cause excess body fluids to collect in the feet and ankles increasing the patient’s risk for edema. c. Moving rapidly from a sitting position to a standing position can put pressure on the bladder and increase the patient’s risk for incontinence. d. Moving rapidly from a sitting position to a standing position can cause blood pressure to drop and increase the patient’s risk for falling.
