Answer to Question 1

C
Ablative surgery is the excision or removal of a diseased body part, such as an appendectomy.
Diagnostic surgery is surgical exploration that allows the physician to confirm a diagnosis. This type of surgery may involve removal of tissue for further diagnostic testing. An example would be a breast-mass biopsy.
Palliative surgery relieves or reduces the intensity of disease symptoms. It will not produce a cure. An example is resection of nerve roots.
Reconstructive surgery restores function or appearance to traumatized or malfunctioning tissues. An example is internal fixation of a hip fracture.

Answer to Question 2

B
The nurse needs to use therapeutic communication to establish trust and a caring presence because providing spiritual care requires caring, compassion, and respect. The nurse should not offer false hope. The nurse should help the patient maintain feelings of control. The nurse should encourage renewing relationships if possible and establishing connections with self, significant others, and God.

Did you know?

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
