Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: It is important for the nurse to begin explaining infection-control measures required secondary to the antirejection drugs the child will receive postprocedure because infections the parents come in contact with today can impact the child postprocedure.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: The client might be experiencing small tears in the retina that rupture and create tissue damage and scarring, which manifest initially as floaters. Rapid intervention is required to prevent blindness.
