Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Patients should be informed that all metal jewelry, including wedding bands and religious artifacts should be removed to prevent possible burns from electrosurgery.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
If a transfusion is anticipated, the patient's blood is typed and crossmatched. The blood test determines what blood type the patient has and then, mixes the patients serum with the red blood cells of the donor to make sure the blood to be transfused is compatible. A consent is signed authorizing a blood transfusion if necessary.
