"Begin clear liquid diet 24 hours prior to the exam; take magnesium citrate (Citroma) 1 bottle PO 12 hours prior to the exam and another 8 hours prior to the exam; remain NPO for 6 hours prior to the study."

Use the enema prep at 2 a.m. and then again at 6 a.m. You can't have anything to eat or drink after waking in the morning." B. "Start a clear liquid diet today at 2 p.m. Drink a bottle of prep at 2 a.m. and another at 6 a.m., and then don't eat or drink anything after 8 a.m." C.

The patient had "tubes placed bilaterally." PMHx Johnny's history is significant for tympanostomy tubes placed bilaterally when he was 2 years old. One tube left a persistent perforation in the tympanic membrane, so he had tympanoplasty at 3 years of age. He has not had any episodes of otitis media in the past 2 years. Which is the correct breakdown and definition of the term bilateral?

A. bi (side) + lateral (toward the side) = toward the side B. bi (two) + lateral (toward the middle) = in the middle C. bi (side) + lateral (toward the middle) = toward the middle of the side D. bi (two) + lateral (out to the side) = both sides E. bi (one) + lateral (out to the side) = one side
