Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Anticoagulants alter normal clotting factors and thus increase risk of hemorrhaging. They should be discontinued for 48 hours before surgery.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The patient's lack of understanding about the length of time in the hospital following such a serious surgery indicates a knowledge deficit that needs to be addressed.
