Answer to Question 1

2, 3, 5
Laparoscopic surgery has less pain and faster recovery times. There are fewer complications, less bleeding, and less risk of infection so the client has a shorter hospital stay. A risk of infection is present with all surgical procedures. Laparoscopic surgery does not cause a better visualization of the abdominal organs.

Answer to Question 2

3
Of the assessment findings provided, leg rash could be caused by impaired immune function in the client. Jugular vein distention, neck pain, and hip pain would most likely have another cause.
