Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
A liposuction procedure is classified as elective surgery, in which the procedure is preplanned and based on the client's choice. Other classifications are urgent (surgery is necessary for the client's health but not an emergency) and emergency (the surgery must be done immediately to preserve life, body part, or body function).

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Leg exercises should be begun as soon as possible after surgery, unless contraindications exist. Bed rest does not preclude the performance of leg exercises and the legs should be lifted individually, not simultaneously. The client should perform leg exercises in a semi-Fowler's, not prone, position.
