Answer to Question 1

A
The operating room (OR) is environmentally controlled to prevent wound infections. The OR is geographically isolated from other parts of the hospital; clean and contaminated areas within the suite are separated; equipment and supplies needed for each client are centralized within the suite; and there are personnel restrictions as to who may enter certain areas of the surgical suite. Environmental control is also enhanced by constant filtered airflow and positive air pressure within the OR.

Answer to Question 2

C
An inguinal hernia occurs in the groin area frequently after activities such as lifting. An incarcerated hernia does not return to the abdominal cavity with rest or manipulation and causes complete bowel obstruction.
