Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The laparoscopic cholecystectomy is less invasive and causes less pain and a quick recovery. If there are large stones present a sphincterotomy is done before the laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Persons with bleeding tendencies, pathologic conditions of the abdomen, stones in the bile duct, and extensive adhesions are not good candidates.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Persons with pernicious anemia are especially sensitive to cold. The provision of a light blanket is beneficial.
