Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Morbidly obese clients are at high risk of venous thromboembolism and should be started on a regimen to prevent this from occurring as a priority. Answering questions about the surgery is done by the surgeon. Teaching is important, but safety comes first.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
All actions are good for client comfort, but when dealing with an obese client, the staff should take extra precautions, such as ensuring the siderails are not putting pressure on the client's tissues. The other options are appropriate for any client, and are not specific to obese clients.
