Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Reglan increases gastric emptying, an important issue for this client who was eating just prior to the operation. The other drugs are appropriate for any surgical client.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Although possibly uncomfortable or embarrassing for the client, the client should not be allowed out of bed after receiving sedation. The nurse should get the client a bedpan or urinal. The client may or may not need a urinary catheter.
