Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, E
Age, diabetes, ethnic background, and smoking are all risk factors for developing CAD; medication use is not.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, E
The nurse can delegate assisting the client to get up in the chair or ambulate to the bathroom, applying TEDs or sequential compression devices, and taking/recording vital signs. The spirometer should be used every hour the day after surgery. Assessing pain using a 0-to-10 scale is a nursing assessment, although if the client reports pain, the UAP should inform the nurse so a more detailed assessment is done.
