Yes and yes. 'take' is the more standard term. It's what a doctor might say. 'get' is more like what a soldier might say to a captured enemy soldier. It's rougher in style.

Context would be nice. Please provide a complete sentence so we know what you're talking about. "Get" is more likely than "take" in "It can be hard to get/take your trousers off if you don't take your boots off first."
