Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, D
Assess the patient's home for common hazards, including the following: (1) loose area rugs and runner placed over carpeting, (2) poor lighting in stairways, and (3) absence of smoke alarms. Because of reduced depth perception, patients can trip on throw rugs, runners, or the edge of stairs. A bathtub with grab bars is safe and does not need to be addressed. Teach patients and family members to keep all flooring in good repair, and advise them to use low-pile carpeting. Thresholds between rooms need to be level with the floor.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Perioperative nursing care occurs before, during, and after surgery. Preadmission testing occurs before surgery and is considered preoperative. Nursing care provided during the surgical procedure is considered intraoperative, and in the postanesthesia care unit, it is considered postoperative. All of these are parts of the perioperative phase, but each individual phase does not explain the term completely.
