Answer to Question 1

D
The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) provides recommendations on fluid and food intake before procedures requiring general anesthesia, regional anesthesia, or sedation/analgesia. The ASA recommendations include fasting from intake of clear liquids for 2 or more hours, and a light meal of toast and clear liquids for 6 hours. The patient also cannot have any meat or fried foods 8 hours before surgery, unless explicitly specified by the anesthesiologist or surgeon.

Answer to Question 2

B
Preoperative teaching is most useful when started the week before admission and reinforced im-mediately before surgery. Teaching performed when the patient is less anxious will result in more effective learning. Anxiety and fear are barriers to learning.
