Answer to Question 1

A
Patients who receive ECT treatment on an outpatient basis are asked to stay NPO for 6 to 8 hours before treatment to prevent aspiration from general anesthesia. If the patient is taking cardiac, antihypertensive, or H2 blocker medications, he or she may do so with a small sip of water several hours before the procedure. Food and liquids can be offered as soon as the patient is awake and can swallow effectively.

Answer to Question 2

D
The New Freedom Commission on Mental Health's report Achieving the Promise: Transforming Mental Health Care in America sites family involvement in the care of the mentally ill as a goal of treatment. While the other options are related to the care of the mentally ill, they are not as focused on family education as is the correct option.
