Answer to Question 1

1

Rationale: Mnire's disease is a disorder of the inner ear characterized by a dizziness and loss of balance. This requires the addition of safety to the care plan. Blurred vision, hemianopsia, and photophobia are incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

1

Rationale: Abdominal exercises should not start immediately following abdominal surgery until 3 to 4 weeks postoperatively to allow for healing of the incision. The other options are appropri-ate instructions for the client following a cesarean delivery.
