Question 4
Which of the follwoing is a method of bacterial survival when enviromental conditions are
not conducive to growth and viability?
A. conjugation
B. transduction
C. spore formation
D. genetic mutation
CORRECT ANSWER
C. Spore formation happens when enviromental conditions are not conducive to growth
and viability.
Question 5
What organ detects changes in the level of insulin and releases chemicals to regulate the
level of blood glucose?
A. liver
B. stomach
C. pancreas
D. gallbladder
2
@THE STUDY VAULT
,CORRECT ANSWER
C. The pancreas regulates the concentration of sugar glucose levels in the circulatory
system. When the concentration of blood glucose increases, the pancreas senses the
change and releases insulin, causing the glucose to move from the blood and be stored in
the liver and muscles. When the blood level of glucose is too low, the pancreas releases
glucagon that causes stored glucose to be released into the circulatory system.
Question 6
What does the term strike-through mean?
A. rupture of heat seal during sterilization
B. failure of biological indicator during sterilization
C. perforation of sharp object through sterile wrapper
D. soaking of moisture form unsterile to sterile layers
CORRECT ANSWER
D. When moisture soaks through a drape, gown or package, "strike-through" occurs and
the item is contaminated.
Question 7
Which of the following monitoring devices would be used within a vessel?
A. ECG lead
B. swan ganz
C. pulse oximeter
D. sphygmomanometer
CORRECT ANSWER
B. A swan ganz monitoring device is inserted within a branch of the pulmonary artery to
measure the central venous pressure, pulmonary artery pressure, pulmonary capillary
wedge pressure and cardiac output.

, Question 8
When adding 30 mL of injectable saline to 30 mL of 0.5% Marcaine, what strength does
the drug become?
A. 0.25%
B. 0.5%
C. 0.75%
D. 1.0%
CORRECT ANSWER
A. 30(mL) x .5(%) = 60(mL) x X(%)
60mL / 30mL = .5% / X
30 x .5 = 60 x X
15 = 60X
= 60X / 60
X = 0.25
Question 9
What action should be taken if the patient has withdrawn the surgical informed consent
prior to surgery?
A. transport patient to OR; inform surgeon
B. do not transport patient; inform surgeon
C. do not transport patient; inform anesthesia provider
D. transport patient to OR; inform OR supervisor
CORRECT ANSWER
B. If a patient has withdrawn the surgical informed consent prior to surgery, then do not
transport patient ad inform the surgeon.
