Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
In some hospitals, preoperative medication is administered when clients reach the receiving room rather than before leaving the nursing unit. The client is not anesthetized or intubated, however, until he or she is in the OR. Client education should begin prior to this stage in the surgical process and the client will have been assessed for suitability as a surgical candidate much earlier.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
In a problem-oriented medical record, the progress notes describe the client's responses to what has been done and revisions to the initial plan. The data base contains initial health information about the client. The problem list consists of a numeric list of the client's health problems. The plan of care identifies methods for solving each identified health problem.
