Answer to Question 1

A
Note the size, consistency, and placement of the uterus. It should be the size of a grapefruit, firm, and in the midline. It should descend approximately one fingerbreadth each day. At 12 hours postpartum, the fundus should be approximately at the level of the umbilicus.

Answer to Question 2

A
A client's preanesthetic preparation for surgery in which general anesthesia will be administered begins with the withholding of food and fluids for a designated period, usually at least 8 hours before the procedure. Keeping the client's stomach as empty as possible reduces the possibility for aspiration of gastric contents into the lungs during surgery.
