Answer to Question 1

A, B, D, E
Very young and old patients are at risk during surgery because of immature or declining physiological status. Normal tissue repair and resistance to infection depend on adequate nutrients. Obesity increases surgical risk by reducing respiratory and cardiac function. During pregnancy, the concern is for the mother and the developing fetus. Because all major systems of the mother are affected during pregnancy, risks for operative complications are increased. Race and ambulatory surgery are not risks associated with a surgical procedure.

Answer to Question 2

A
Movements in the newborn are generally sporadic, but they are symmetric and involve all four extremities. Cyanosis of the hands and feet is normal for the first 24 hours, not 48 hours. The diamond shape of the anterior fontanel and the triangular shape of the posterior fontanel are found between the unfused bones of the skull. The expected, normal weight of a healthy newborn is between 2700 and 4000 grams (6 to 9 pounds).
