Answer to Question 1

B
The standard for routine surgical cases is to obtain a full set of vital signs and to perform modified physical assessment at least every 15 minutes for at least the first hour of time spent in the PACU. More frequent taking of vital signs and overall physical assessment are done with less stable patients.

Answer to Question 2

B
A sexual history includes a social history, medical history, medication history, and recreational drug use history.
