Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation:
1. Evidence-based practice research and new guidelines indicate that clear fluids can be consumed throughout labor and up to 2 hours before an elective cesarean birth. Research shows that the volume of liquid consumed is less important than the presence of particulate matter ingested because this increases the risk of aspiration.
2. Evidence-based practice research and new guidelines indicate that clear fluids can be consumed throughout labor and up to 2 hours before an elective cesarean birth. Research shows that the volume of liquid consumed is less important than the presence of particulate matter ingested because this increases the risk of aspiration. While black coffee is considered a clear liquid, adding creamer would be contraindicated.
