Answer to Question 1

C
Discharge planning begins with admission to the hospital. This is especially true in the case of the surgical patient. The nurse may be the first person to identify patient and family needs that require special planning early in the stay with a plan for later discharge.

Answer to Question 2

B
Once pain control is achieved, activity level should be addressed. There are complications associated with prolonged bed rest, so it is important for postoperative care personnel to assist the patient in achieving the ordered levels of activity.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. 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.
