Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
If medication for pain is ordered p.r.n., there is a time restriction between doses. The client needs to ask for the medication and should do so before the pain becomes severe.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
A surgical procedure causes anxiety and fear. The nurse should encourage the client to identify and verbalize fears; often simply talking about fears helps to diminish their magnitude.
