Answer to Question 1

3

Rationale: The client taking codeine sulfate is at risk for constipation. Thus, the nurse monitors the frequency of bowel movements. The nurse also would monitor the client for hypotension, decreased respirations, and urinary retention. The nurse would plan measures to counteract these expected effects, such as encouraging fluids, coughing and deep breathing, and increasing mobility to the extent tolerated by the client.

Answer to Question 2

Rationale: Explanations should begin with the information that the client knows. By providing the client with an individualized explanation of care and procedures, the nurse can assist the cli-ent in handling fears and providing a smooth preoperative experience. Clients who are calm and emotionally prepared for surgery withstand anesthesia better and experience fewer postoperative complications. If it's any help, everyone is nervous before surgery. is a stereotypical response. I will be happy to explain the entire surgical procedure to you. and Let me tell you about the care you'll receive after surgery and the amount of pain you can anticipate. can increase the client's anxiety.
