Answer to Question 1

C
Nursing care of clients undergoing surgery for lung cancer focuses on monitoring respiratory status, providing pain relief, and supporting the client and family in dealing with the diagnosis and treatment. For clients who have a laryngectomy, maintaining communication is the major focus; the client and family also need instruction as to care of the stoma.

Answer to Question 2

B
Discharge teaching should include ensuring that the client understands the level of assistance he or she will need, dietary needs of restrictions, other treatments to be conducted, and the amount and types of medications prescribed.
