33. The medicines routinely utilised before, 34. Dehydration is known to have adverse effects
during, and after surgical procedures differ
greatly from patient to patient because the
medications patients receive are determined
by the type of operation, anaesthetic, or pain
control. ---- People are given an antibiotic to
prevent infections before surgery, either in
pill form or intravenously, which is when a
drug is injected directly into a vein. During
the operation, anaesthesia, which does not
let the patient be awake, and sedative drugs,
which relieve pain and nervousness and
make people feel calmer, are given. Following
surgery, drugs such as painkillers may be
administered to relieve pain, eliminate the risk
of trouble, and support recovery.
A) The patients are supposed to be informed at
each step of the operation to follow a healthy
procedure.
B) All clinicians participating in patient
management should get a comprehensive
medication history from the patient.
C) Clinicians must frequently decide whether
to continue chronic drugs throughout the
perioperative period.
D) At least half of all patients undergoing
surgery use drugs on a regular basis to get a
better result.
E) Any underlying health conditions in patients
may also play a prominent role in the choice
of drugs used.

on the brain. When the body loses more fluid
than it takes in, the brain shrinks, and its
cells become less efficient at carrying out
their functions. ---- Research has shown that
even mild dehydration, with a fluid loss of
just 1–2% of body weight, can reduce mental
efficacy. Dehydration also reduces blood flow
to the brain, making it harder for nutrients and
oxygen to reach brain cells, which can cause
headaches and dizziness. Staying hydrated
is therefore important for maintaining tip‑top
brain function and overall health.
A) These cells are responsible for processing
and transmitting information throughout the
body.
B) Water loss can however be compensated for
by water intake in the form of food, water, or
other beverages.
C) Drinking at least eight glasses of water daily
is recommended to achieve proper hydration
levels.
D) This can lead to a decrease in cognitive
performance, such as memory, attention, and
reaction time.
E) The brain has a higher proportion of water
than the rest of the body, with about 75% of
its mass consisting of water.
