Answer to Question 1

ANS: T
The same standards of care are followed for ambulatory patients as for hospitalized surgical patients, including strict adherence to the principles of aseptic and sterile techniques.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Because most complications occur within the first 48 hours after surgery, a follow-up call is made by the registered nurse to check on the patient's progress and reiterate the postoperative instructions.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
