Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

The client should be encouraged to increase the fiber in his diet, as straining for bowel movements after surgery can cause increased pressure in the prostate area. The client and family are taught good dietary habits to keep bowel movements regular and soft. The client may not drive for 2 weeks after surgery. The client is taught to avoid heavy lifting for 4-8 weeks after discharge and to call the doctor for severe abdominal or chest pain.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B, E

Patient education on acceptable pain medication is necessary due to the toxic effect of common over-the-counter pain medicine. Family teaching is appropriate to avoid transmission. Most clients recover from acute viral hepatitis without pharmacologic treatment and certainly without liver transplant. A low-fat, high-calorie diet is recommended.
