Answer to Question 1

1
Acarbose (Precose) is an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor that reduces the postprandial glucose levels by slowing the enzymes needed to digest carbohydrates. This medication will not cause a higher blood glucose level in the morning, a higher blood glucose level after a meal, nor an increase in urine output.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3, 4
When a client is admitted to the postanesthesia care unit, the initial head-to-toe assessment includes surgical site, vital signs, respiratory stability, and circulatory stability. Range of motion of the lower extremities and bowel sounds are not a part of the initial head-to-toe assessment.
