Answer to Question 1

D
Endarterectomy is reserved for people with carotid obstruction of more than 60.

Answer to Question 2

B
This response demonstrates the patient's fear and insecurity, which warrant further discussion. Providing additional information or answering patient questions may help alleviate the patient's emotional unpreparedness for surgery. The plan for a cheeseburger indicates a potential need to further review nutrition in the postoperative period. The other responses demonstrate positive statements regarding the upcoming postsurgical period.
