Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
Because of the fears of hepatitis B and human immunodeficiency virus infection associated with blood transfusion, donation of autologous blood (one's own blood) for surgery is becoming a common practice. If the client wishes, provide the necessary information about blood donation if the client is seen a number of weeks before surgery.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B, C, E
Feedback:
Client education begins during the preoperative period and continues throughout all perioperative phases of care. In the preoperative phase, assess the client's and family's readiness to learn and their knowledge base so that education can be individualized. If the client will be discharged on the day of surgery, be sure to identify someone who can take the client home and assist during the postoperative recovery period.
