Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Ablative surgery is performed to remove a diseased body part. Diagnostic surgery is performed to make or confirm a diagnosis. Palliative surgery involves relieving or reducing intensity of an illness. Reconstructive surgery restores function to traumatized or malfunctioning tissue.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Epidural anesthesia is a regional anesthesia administered to a client before surgery; it decreases the risk of gastrointestinal complications in clients. Reversal drugs are medications that counteract the effects of those used for conscious sedation. General anesthesia acts on the central nervous system to produce loss of sensation; it prevents clients from remembering their initial recovery period.
