Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
After outpatient surgery, clients may go home when they are no longer dizzy or drowsy, have stable vital signs, and have voided. Clients are not allowed to drive a car home.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Many surgical clients have the same reaction to loss of a body part as they would to a death. A surgical client's grief is a normal, appropriate response. The nurse must be aware of the client's needs and provide interventions to meet those needs in coping with change.
