Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
Given a rationale for preoperative and postoperative procedures, the client is better prepared to participate in care. The diet progression should be discussed with the client by the unit nurse as the postsurgical diet progresses. The call light may be specific to the unit the client is on and is best taught to the client once he or she is on the unit so that the client can demonstrate to the nurse that he or she understands how to use it. The PCA pump is best taught to the client once he or she is on the unit so that the client can demonstrate to the nurse that he or she understands how to use it.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
Pulmonary function testing and occasionally arterial blood gas analysis are often performed be-fore surgery on clients with preexisting lung disease. An HIV-antibody test diagnoses HIV. It is not a test that is normally ordered before surgery. Prolactin levels are used to diagnose and mon-itor prolactin-secreting pituitary adenomas. A glucose tolerance test is used to assist in the diag-nosis of diabetes mellitus and is also used in the evaluation of hypoglycemia. It is not a test that is normally ordered before surgery.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.

It is believed that the Incas used anesthesia. Evidence supports the theory that shamans chewed cocoa leaves and drilled holes into the heads of patients (letting evil spirits escape), spitting into the wounds they made.
