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.
