Answer to Question 1

1,2
Rationale: Pulse rates increase as age increases; the 20-year-old usually would have a pulse at the lower end of normal.

Rationale: This client's nursing plan of care during the preoperative phase will be directed at reducing anxiety and knowledge deficit. Insufficient information is supplied regarding the need for surgery or physiological condition to know whether the client has altered gas exchange, fluid volume imbalance, or insufficient coping skills.
