Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
Preadmission nurses call clients up to 1 week before surgery to clarify questions and reinforce explanations. The remaining options are directed toward either facilitating compliance with pre-operative requirements or addressing the needs of the client's family.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
It is the surgeon's responsibility to explain the procedure and obtain the informed consent. After the client completes the consent form, place it in the medical record. The record goes to the oper-ating room with the client after the nurse confirms all required information has been included.
