Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The client should discontinue use of any herbal medications (e.g., St. John's wort) because such medication may reduce the effectiveness of operative medication and may contribute to postoperative bleeding. The client can be allowed to play music during the procedure because it helps the client to relax. Ibuprofen should be discontinued 7 days and not just 1 day before a surgical procedure. An attendant should be present for at least 24 hours postoperatively, not only until the end of the procedure.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The retina of the eye and the kidneys are the primary organs that can be severely damaged by diabetes. Kidney disease (nephropathy) caused by microvascular changes can result in death from kidney failure.
