Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The immediate postoperative period refers to the first 24 hours after surgery. During this time, the nurse monitors the client for complications as he or she recovers from anesthesia. Once the client is stable, the nurse prepares a room for the client's return and assesses the client to prevent or minimize potential complications. Rehabilitation and client education are important but are lesser priorities at this early stage of recovery.
