The nurse is conducting preoperative teaching with a client who will be undergoing pelvic surgery. The nurse knows the teaching was successful based on the which statement(s) by the client?  Select all that apply.

A nurse is preparing a client for a scheduled surgical procedure. After the provider has explained the procedure, risks, and benefits, the client nods silently. Which of the following actions by the nurse is most appropriate to verify the client’s understanding before witnessing the consent form?

A 62-year-old patient with no known drug allergies is scheduled for elective hernia repair. The anesthesia provider orders midazolam 2 mg IV for procedural sedation, and diazepam 5 mg PO is listed as a standing preoperative anxiolytic. As the perioperative nurse, which of the following is the most important nursing consideration related to this patient’s medication regimen? 

True or False? A horizontal program strengthens an existing health system so that it can deliver additional health services.

The physician has ordered  Estradiol 7.5 mg po daily The nurse finds Estradiol in scored tablets labeled 5 mg The nurse should give tablet(s).

Connor et al. (2022) published an article in Tree Physiology (https://doi.org/10.1093/treephys/tpac150). Based on the data presented in Figure 5, evaluate the hypothesis that elevated atmospheric CO₂ can reduce the negative effects of drought on woody plant growth. In your response: Describe the overall trends in biomass across the CO₂ and water treatments. Determine whether all four species respond similarly to elevated CO₂ and explain your reasoning using evidence from the figure. Propose a physiological mechanism that could explain why elevated CO₂ influences plant growth under water-stressed conditions. Predict how these results could affect the future abundance of woody plants in rangeland ecosystems under climate change scenarios. Figure 5 Tissue specific biomass proportion for each of the woody species (Cornus drummondii, Gleditsia triacanthos, Juniperus osteosperma, Rhus glabra) based on the experimental treatments.
