Answer to Question 1

climacteric
The climacteric refers to the physical and emotional changes that occur at the end of the
reproductive period. In most women this occurs between the ages of 45 and 50 . At this
time, maturation of ova and production of ovarian hormones declines. Menopause
describes the final menstrual period. The terms menopause and climacteric are often used
interchangeably.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale:
1. Depicted is the most common type of esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula, where the upper segment of the esophagus ends in a blind pouch and a fistula connects the lower segment to the trachea. Preoperatively, there is a risk of aspiration of gastric secretions from the stomach into the trachea because of the fistula that connects the lower segment of the esophagus to the trachea.
2. Pain usually is not experienced preoperatively with this condition.
3. The infant is always kept NPO preoperatively, so ineffective feeding pattern would not apply.
4. Tissue perfusion is not a problem with this condition.
