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.
