Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, E
Each system of the body is affected by the patient's age, health, nutritional status, and mental state. Religion and occupation do not affect the physiological response to the surgery.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, D
Surgery places greater stress on older than on younger patients. Teaching should be given at the older person's level of understanding. Teaching should be specific and clear. Presence of coexisting conditions may delay recovery time and response to surgery.
