Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The environment must protect the wound from injury and microbial invasion. Reverse isolation may be practiced to protect the patient; all personnel must wear sterile attire, gowns, gloves, masks, caps, and shoe covers. The room temperature must be increased to prevent hypothermia because the patient's thermoregulatory mechanism is altered from damage to the skin, which acts as an insulator.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Liposuction is the removal of fat deposits by suction-assisted lipectomy to contour the body. Most surgeons prefer to inject a solution known as tumescence, containing 1 lidocaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine in saline. The solution plumps up the fat cells, firms the surface, and reduces blood loss.
