Domain:Behavioral and Cognitive Needs
During preoperative screening, a 28-year- old male reports cocaine use. The
perianesthesia nurse informs the patient that cocaine use may cause:
1.significant vasodilation and decreased blood pressure.
2.depression of the central nervous system
3.myocardial ischemia with cardiovascular instability
4.postoperative hypotension and bradycardia
Content area: Impact of existing medical conditions (for example, diabetes, COPD,
hypertension) on current surgery/procedure

A teaching plan based upon the developmental stage of a 9-year- old patient includes:
1. allowing the patient to assist with care.
2. restricting the use of diagrams.
3. internalizing previously learned values to focus on identity.
