A client with a history of sleep apnea has had a same-day surgery procedure that will require the administration of morphine postoperatively to manage pain.
 
  This client will be assessed most appropriately by the perioperative nurse for the risk for respira-tory complications by frequently:
  1. Listening to breath sounds
  2. Monitoring pulse oximetry
  3. Evaluating spirometer use
  4. Counting respirations per minute

Question 2

A 74-year-old is accompanied by his daughter to the ambulatory surgery department for the sur-gical removal of a suspicious skin lesion. The client has experienced dysphasia since a cerebral vascular accident 3 years ago.
 
  The most effective way for the nurse to secure the necessary preoperative interview information is to:
  1. Question the client's daughter
  2. Review the client's past medical records
  3. Present the questions in a simple format
  4. Rely on the client's preadmission survey

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
Administration of opioids increases risk for airway obstruction postoperatively. Clients will de-saturate as revealed by a drop in oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry. The remaining options are not as specific for this particular client's risk.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
If a client is unable to relate all of the necessary information, rely on family members as re-sources. The remaining options are not reliable, effective methods of securing information re-garding this client.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
