Answer to Question 1

1, 4, 5
On the day of the surgery, the nurse should instruct the client to bring identification, but to send it home after it is used; and a list of medications. Important jewelry should be left at home to reduce the risk of its being lost. Personal sleepwear is most likely not going to be used since the client will be wearing a hospital gown. Work-related items are not recreational and could be anxiety producing. Books and puzzles would be appropriate if the client is expecting to be admitted, but they are not necessary for a same-day surgical procedure and discharge.

Answer to Question 2

2
For an annuloplasty, the client will receive general anesthesia and a heart bypass machine will be used. A balloon valvuloplasty is done by inserting a catheter through the femoral vein or artery and stretching the valve open with a balloon. The client needs general anesthesia for an annuloplasty and not a local anesthetic.
