Answer to Question 1

D
The child can have clear, cool liquids when fully awake. The child can have full liquids on the second postoperative day. Citrus drinks are not offered because they can irritate the throat. Red liquids are avoided because they give the appearance of blood if vomited.

Answer to Question 2

C
Drowsiness is a safety hazard when alertness is needed, especially with a teenage driver. Nonsedating brands should be used. A dry mouth is not a safety issue. Excitability may affect rest or sleep, but drowsiness is the most important safety hazard. Dry mucous membranes are not a safety issue.
