Best answer
The correct answer is (a) Given specifically ordered oral medications with small amounts of water

The best I can explain: General Anesthesia is the process in which the whole body becomes numb and the mind is unconscious. In such cases, the mind has no control over the bladder or the sphincter muscles. The GI track is usually kept empty before the procedure to avoid any urinary or faecal discharges. It is also best kept empty to avoid any discharges of the GI track from leaking in the abdominal, which may end up causing infections after the surgery.
