Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Anxiety and fear are barriers to learning, and both emotions heighten as surgery approaches. Ed-ucation should be provided before any preoperative sedation is administered; the information should be introduced in terms that the client can understand. The presence of denial is an as-sumption that is not necessarily correct.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Often a family member is the caregiver when the client recovers from surgery. Perioperative preparation of family members before surgery helps to maximize effective caregiving while min-imizing anxiety and misunderstanding.
