Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
A major advantage of outpatient surgery is that it interferes less with the client's daily routine. It also allows more opportunity for family contact and support. Some disadvantages are that it reduces the time for establishing a nurseclient relationship and requires intensive preoperative teaching in a short time. It does not necessarily reduce the risk of complications.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The nurse should assess the client's vital signs, weight, and sternal skin turgor prior to fluid restriction to serve as a baseline for comparison. The period of fluid restriction before surgery may be shortened for older adults to reduce their risk of dehydration and hypotension. The client's urine color, appetite, and anxiety are less direct indicators of the client's risk for dehydration.
