Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

The nurse will determine the frequency of client assessments required, within the protocols established by the facility. The minimum frequency is determined by the facility, but more frequent assessment may be determined by the client's condition, and is the decision of the nurse. Activity level, intravenous solutions, and type of diet are ordered by the health care provider.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1,2,3,4

The nurse will provide information, including what will happen to the client, when and what the client will experience, and expected sensations and discomfort. Psychosocial support is provided to reduce anxiety. The roles of the client and support people in preoperative preparation, the surgical procedure, and during the postoperative phase will be explained by the nurse. Skills training will include moving, deep breathing, coughing, splinting incisions, and use of an incentive spirometer. Coughing and deep breathing are a component of skills training, but are not a dimension of teaching.
