Answer to Question 1

A
Surgery is a major stressor for every client. There is no such thing as minor surgery to a client. Anxiety and fear are normal reactions. The nurse should recognize that clients frequently experience some degree of anxiety about surgery, and such feelings can affect coping abilities. The nurse can provide clients with information about the surgical experience and offer appropriate support.

Answer to Question 2

B
Postpartum hemorrhage and urinary tract infection are two complications related to urinary retention and bladder overdistension. A full bladder displaces the uterus and causes excessive bleeding.
