Answer to Question 1

A
Palpate the bladder to assess for distention and position. A distended bladder may cause hemorrhage. If the bladder is off to the side or the fundus is higher than usual, it is distended. Keep the client NPO, and immediately notify her health care provider.

Answer to Question 2

A
General anesthesia produces significant effects on the body: unconsciousness, complete insensibility to pain, amnesia, motionlessness, and muscle relaxation. General anesthesia also produces loss of control of vital functions, such as maintaining an airway, breathing and maintaining heart rate, and regulating temperature; these functions are controlled by the anesthesia provider when general anesthesia is administered.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
