The car ride home
If the patient is a child, an adult other than the driver should sit with them. [TBD — Dr. Lincoln to confirm car-ride safety guidance.]
Diet progression
Start with clear liquids and advance slowly as tolerated. [TBD — Dr. Lincoln to confirm diet progression and timing.]
Activity restrictions
