Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The surgical suite is divided into three distinct areas: unrestrictedstaff and others in street clothes can interact with those in surgical attire; semirestrictedstaff must wear surgical attire and cover all head and facial hair; restrictedincludes the operating room, the sink area, and clean core where masks are required in addition to surgical attire.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The low potassium level may increase the risk for intraoperative complications such as dysrhythmias. Slightly elevated blood pressure is common before surgery because of anxiety. The lower heart rate would be expected in a patient taking a -blocker. The hematocrit is in the low normal range but does not require any intervention before surgery.
