Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
The answer shows proof of the client's compliance, whereas the remaining options are either goals or outcomes.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
Cough and low-grade fever increases the risk for respiratory complications during anesthesia (e.g., pneumonia and spasm of laryngeal muscles). Although the other options are not incorrect, they do not represent the most likely risk factor that would result in the cancellation of the pro-cedure.
