Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

The colonoscopy is not a painful examination. It usually takes about an hour. The client will be given conscious sedation, which causes drowsiness. Tissue samples are often taken during colonoscopies.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

The client will require reassurance from the nurse that the symptoms being experienced are not those of a heart attack and that the symptoms will resolve when a normal breathing pattern returns to normal. Ordering the diet and instructing the respiratory therapist are done by the healthcare provider. Providing teaching for the client becomes a priority when the client is recovering from the illness.
