Answer to Question 1

C, D, E, F, G, H
The physiologic nursing assessment is completed before surgery and includes health data obtained from the client, the family, and health care providers, and from previous health records. The focus of this assessment is identification of risk factors and possible complications of each; these data provide the basis for establishing the client's nursing diagnoses. The assessment addresses age, nutritional status, fluid and electrolyte balance, respiratory and cardiovascular status, neurological and musculoskeletal status, renal and hepatic status, integumentary status, and the client's current medications. Preoperative psychosocial health assessment includes identifying the client's perceptions and expected outcomes of the scheduled surgery, coping mechanisms and ability to understand the procedure, and cultural and spiritual beliefs.

Answer to Question 2

D
Urinary incontinence is the involuntary loss of urine from the bladder. Although this is a physiologic problem, it also affects the client's emotional, psychological, and social well-being. All types of incontinence such as stress, urge, overflow, total, and nocturnal enuresis can be treated to restore and reconstruct the support of the pelvic floor muscles.
