Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D
Being overweight or obese increases the risk for many diseases and health conditions, including hypertension, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, sleep apnea, and respiratory problems. These conditions increase risks for postoperative complications. Hypotension is not a complication of obesity.

Answer to Question 2

D
At the conclusion of the procedure, have the patient take two to three deep breaths, and determine whether symptoms that necessitated suctioning are no longer present. Deep breathing reduces oxygen loss and prevents hypoxia. Expect the patient's respiratory status to improve after suctioning. Use of normal saline adversely affects arterial and global tissue oxygenation and dislodges bacterial colonies; therefore, this can contribute to lower airway contamination. After suctioning the patient, teach him to suction the nasal and oral pharynx, and give mouth care. Encourage the patient or family member to brush the teeth with a small, soft toothbrush 2 times a day, and to use mouth moisturizer and moisturize the lips every 2 to 4 hours.
