Answer to Question 1

D
The preoperative phase begins with the decision to have surgery and ends when the patient enters the operating room. The intraoperative phase begins when the patient enters the operating suite and ends when the patient is admitted to the postanesthesia care unit.

Answer to Question 2

B
Aging skin tends to be drier. Sweat gland activity is diminished. The skin's connective tissue, collagen, and elastin are reduced, which means the skin loses firmness and so wrinkles. Skin aging also occurs with exposure to oxygen-free radicals that are waste products from chemical reactions in the body as well as with exposure to certain food and environmental sources. An infant's skin is thinner and more permeable to moisture in the environment.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
