Answer to Question 1

B, C
SLE, a chronic, progressive autoimmune disease that involves multiple body organs, most frequently affects women of childbearing age. It is a disease of exacerbation and remissions. Immune complexes that are formed as a result of antibody production cause inflammation and tissue damage in the skin, brain, kidney, lung, heart, or joints.

Answer to Question 2

B
Surgical clients lose a great amount of body heat at a time when the body's temperature regulation function is impaired by anesthesia; hypothermia also adds to the central nervous system depression that occurs with residual anesthesia. Surface warming with a forced-air warming blanket, cloth blankets, or heating lamps is useful in increasing the postoperative client's body temperature. Warming the client and encouraging deep breathing helps eliminate the anesthetic agents that can cause postoperative shivering.
