Answer to Question 1

ANS: T
The same standards of care are followed for ambulatory patients as for hospitalized surgical patients, including strict adherence to the principles of aseptic and sterile techniques.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Because most complications occur within the first 48 hours after surgery, a follow-up call is made by the registered nurse to check on the patient's progress and reiterate the postoperative instructions.
