Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: The client should breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth. After inhaling, the client should hold the breath for a few seconds before coughing. Exercises should begin as soon as possible after surgery.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: The client's family may be allowed in the holding area, depending on facility policy, to stay with the client until she leaves for surgery. Once the client has been taken to the OR, the family will go to the waiting room, and will be informed of the client's condition when the surgery is completed, or occasionally, throughout an extended procedure. The remaining statements are correct.
