Answer to Question 1
A
Ambulatory surgical clients are discharged home when they meet certain criteria.
With new anaesthetic agents and techniques, many ambulatory surgery clients are able to bypass phase I. This is known as fast tracking.
Whether the client will be able to ambulate as soon as being admitted to the recovery area de-pends on the ambulatory client's condition, type of surgery, and anaesthesia.
It is not a true that all ambulatory surgery clients are given liberal amounts of fluid to promote the excretion of the anaesthesia. The administration of fluids is dependent on the client's condition and the type of surgery. The excretion of anaesthetic depends on many factors, including the route of administration (e.g., fluids will not promote the excretion of anaesthetic gases). Oral fluids cannot be given until it is determined that the client has a gag reflex and bowel sounds. Fluids are often given to prevent circulatory complications.
Answer to Question 2
A
Small, frequent, nutrient-dense meals that limit fatty foods and overly sweet foods are easier to tolerate. Patients benefit from eating cold foods and drier or saltier foods with fluid in between.
