Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Fear of loss of control may be partially related to concerns about anesthesia, but this patient's concern is about self-image. Preoperative anxiety from any cause may affect the amount of anesthesia and postoperative analgesia needed.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Preoperative teaching is provided 1 to 2 days prior to surgery when anxiety is low.
