Answer to Question 1

2
Strategies to reduce preoperative stress include observing and asking the client if there is anything that can be done to help reduce her anxiety. Leaving the client alone before the surgery will not help reduce stress. Referring to the client by her first name might be considered unprofessional and should not be done. Making jokes is also not a professional behavior and should not be done by the nurse.

Answer to Question 2

3
An auscultated S3 is a sign that increased blood volume remains in the ventricle with each beat and that the heart is beginning to fail. S1 and S2 sounds are the first and second sounds heard when auscultating the heart. An S4 sound may indicate increased resistance to ventricular filling.
