Answer to Question 1

B
The nurse must first assess the ability to communicate with the patient before Options a, c, or d can be assessed.

Answer to Question 2

D
The most appropriate action for the nurse to take at this time is to ask the patient about her con-cerns, feelings, and perceptions about the surgery. Providing teaching during periods of high an-xiety is ineffective and does not address the patient's anxiety (Option a). Option b is giving false reassurance. In Option c, the nurse is projecting her frustration onto the family and avoiding re-sponsibility.
