Answer to Question 1

C
Pain after surgery is expected and is one of the patient's fears. Anesthesia will be provided during the procedure itself, and the patient should not experience pain during the procedure. Pain management is utilized after the postoperative phase. Inform the patient of interventions available for pain relief, including medication, relaxation, and distraction. The patient needs to know and understand how to take the medications that the physician will prescribe postoperatively. During the stay in the facility, the level of pain is frequently assessed by the nurses. Coordinating pain medication with postoperative exercises helps to minimize discomfort and allows the exercises to be more effective.

Answer to Question 2

D

Feedback

B The rooting reflex is the turning of the infant's mouth toward the stimulus when the infant's cheek is stroked.
C The startle reflex, also known as the Moro reflex or embrace reflex, is seen in infants in response to startling stimuli.
D This behaviour describes the tonic neck reflex.
