Answer to Question 1

1. Assess postoperative wound healing.

Rationale:
Chronic lung disease reduces the amount of oxygen delivered to the tissues, which could delay wound healing. The nurse should assess the postoperative wound for healing. The client may or may not need to have urine output monitored. Purulent drainage is a sign of infection and would not be expected. Postoperative clients need an adequate intake of protein for wound healing; protein should not be restricted.

Answer to Question 2

B
In stage 2 sleep, the EEG pattern slows and there is a loss of slow rolling eye movements.
