Answer to Question 1

B, D, E
Feedback:
Following surgery, the client should wear a metal shield, if prescribed, while sleeping or napping for up to 4 weeks to protect the eye from accidental bumping. On the second postoperative day, the client can clean the eye gently to remove mucus, using cotton balls or tissues moistened with tap water. The client should avoid sudden movements and straining at stool. The client should not remove the dressings, should not sleep on the operative side for at least a week, and should not lift more than 10 to 30 pounds for about a week.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
In hospice care, the client is in control of his or her care. This is autonomous decision making at the end-of-life. The client and the family, along with the hospice team, decide on the most appropriate care once the client has agreed on care.
