Answer to Question 1

C
Anticoagulants alter normal clotting factors and thus increase the risk of hemorrhaging during surgery.
The 78-year-old client taking an analgesic agent would not be at the greatest risk during surgery.
The 43-year-old client taking corticosteroids would not be at the greatest risk during surgery.
Aminoglycosides (a type of antibiotic) may cause mild respiratory depression from depressed neuromuscular transmission. However, the client who has been taking anticoagulants is at greater risk during surgery.

Answer to Question 2

A
In order for the nurse to perform female perineal care, the client should be assisted to the dorsal recumbent position. This position provides easy access to the female genitalia.
Side-lying is not the position of choice for performing perineal care for the female client.
The supine position is the position of choice for performing perineal care for the male, not the female client.
The prone position is not the position of choice for performing perineal care for the female client.
