Answer to Question 1

D
Lifestyle choices frequently affect adult safety. Smoking conveys great risk for pulmonary and cardiovascular disease. It is prudent to secure belongings. When an individual has been determined to be the designated driver, that individual does not consume alcohol, beer, or wine. Sleep is important no matter the age of the individual and is important for rest and integration of learning. The average young adult needs 6 1/2 to 8 hours of sleep each night.

Answer to Question 2

A
An elevated temperature before surgery is a cause for concern. If the client has an underlying infection, the surgeon may choose to postpone surgery until the infection has been treated. An elevated body temperature increases the risk of fluid and electrolyte imbalance after surgery.
Anxiety and fear commonly cause elevations in heart rate and blood pressure. A pulse rate of 90 beats per minute is not a concern.
A respiratory rate of 20 breaths per minute is normal for an adult.
Anxiety and fear commonly cause elevations in heart rate and blood pressure. A blood pressure of 130/74 is not excessively elevated.
