Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The nursing diagnosis, which directly relates to safety, is high risk for injury. The other three options are only indirectly related to safety. While in the OR, the patient under general anesthetic is unable to express safety concerns and must rely completely on the surgeon and OR staff for protection.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The nerve plexus has two layers of nerves, one submucosal layer and one myenteric layer. The other options are not part of the nerve plexus.
