Answer to Question 1

B
Observe the calves for redness, warmth, and tenderness. Palpate pedal pulses. If a thrombus is suspected, notify the physician and refrain from manipulating the extremity any further. Surgery usually will be postponed. Any condition that affects chest wall movement such as obesity, advanced pregnancy, thoracic or abdominal surgery, history of smoking, or presence of reduced hemoglobin level can increase the risk for postoperative complications but will not necessarily require postponement of surgery. Assess and report to the physician and/or the anesthesiologist if the patient has had a cold or an upper respiratory infection within the past week.

Answer to Question 2

D
D. The definition of stomatitis is inflammation of the mouth.
A. The definition of halitosis is bad breath.
B. The definition of cheilosis is cracking of lips.
C. The definition of gingivitis is inflammation of the gums.
