Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: The older adult has more physiological deficits, such as decreased kidney function and decreased thirst, and is at greater risk for fluid and electrolyte imbalances.
Rationale 2: The older client has decreased kidney function.
Rationale 3: The older client has a decline in sensory functioning.
Rationale 4: The older client may not be able to follow directions or understand instruction as well as a younger client.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: The preoperative phase begins when the decision to have surgery is made and ends when the client is transferred to the operating table.
Rationale 2: The intraoperative phase begins when the client is transferred to the operating table and ends when the client is admitted to the PACU.
Rationale 3: The postoperative phase begins with the admission of the client to the postanesthesia area and ends when healing is complete.
Rationale 4: There is not a specific perioperative phase of surgical care. Perioperative care consists of three phases: preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative.
