Answer to Question 1

A
The oral administration of a non-particulate antacid (such as sodium citrate) just before induction of general anesthesia increases the gastric pH level and should be given routinely. Particulate antacids (such as magnesium oxide Maalox) are not recommended because the particulate matter in the antacid can produce severe pulmonary reaction if aspirated.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale:
1. When a child is sedated, respiratory status should be monitored with a pulse oximetry machine.
2. When a child is sedated, respiratory status should be monitored with a pulse oximetry machine. The child should be close to the nurse's station so that frequent monitoring can be done.
3. Several visitors at the bedside would increase the child's anxiety.
4. Soft restraints could increase agitation.
