PENN FOSTER ANESTHESIA FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS SOLVED CORRECTLY LATEST UPDATE 2027 GRADED A+
Question 1.
Academy of Veterinary Technicians in Anesthesia and Analgesia (AVTAA)
Correct Answer: recognized in 1999 by the National Association of Veterinary
Technicians in America-Committee on Veterinary Technician Specialties
(NAVTA-CVTS), offers specialization to credentialed veterinary technicians with
an interest in veterinary anesthesia and analgesia, through completion of an
arduous set of requirements that demonstrates competency in the advanced
practice of anesthesia and analgesia
Question 2.
American College of Veterinary Anesthesia and Analgesia (ACVAA)
Correct Answer: (formerly known as the American College of Veterinary
Anesthesiologists [ACVA]), recognized by the American Veterinary Medical
Association (AVMA) in 1975, offers specialization to credentialed veterinarians
Question 3.
anesthesia
Correct Answer: may be defined as "a loss of sensation"
Question 4.
General anesthesia
Correct Answer: may be defined as a reversible state of unconsciousness,
immobility, muscle relaxation, and loss of sensation throughout the entire body
produced by administration of one or more anesthetic agents
Question 5.
Surgical anesthesia
Correct Answer: a specific stage of general anesthesia in which there is a
sufficient degree of analgesia (a loss of sensitivity to pain) and muscle
relaxation to allow surgery to be performed without patient pain or movement
Question 6.
Sedation
Correct Answer: refers to drug-induced CNS depression and drowsiness that
vary in intensity from light to deep. A sedated patient generally is minimally
aware or unaware of its surroundings but can be aroused by noxious stimulation
,Question 7.
Tranquilization
Correct Answer: a drug-induced state of calm in which the patient is reluctant to
move and is aware of but unconcerned about its surroundings
Question 8.
Hypnosis
Correct Answer: a drug-induced sleeplike state that impairs the ability of the
patient to respond appropriately to stimuli.
Question 9.
narcosis
Correct Answer: refers to a drug-induced sleep from which the patient is not
easily aroused and that is most often associated with the administration of
narcotics.
Question 10.
Local anesthesia
Correct Answer: refers to loss of sensation in a small area of the body produced
by administration of a local anesthetic agent in proximity to the area of interest
Question 11.
Topical anesthesia
Correct Answer: the loss of sensation of a localized area produced by
administration of a local anesthetic directly to a body surface or to a surgical or
traumatic wound.
Question 12.
regional anesthesia
Correct Answer: refers to a loss of sensation in a limited area of the body
produced by administration of a local anesthetic or other agent in proximity to
sensory nerves.
Question 13.
epidural anesthesia
, Correct Answer: can be used to provide pain control of the hindquarters and
pelvic region
Question 14.
balanced anesthesia
Correct Answer: giving multiple drugs in lower doses than would be given if
used alone, maximizes the benefits of each drug, minimizes adverse effects, and
gives the anesthetist the ability to produce anesthesia with the degree of CNS
depression, muscle relaxation, analgesia, and immobilization appropriate for
the patient and the procedure.
Question 15.
minimum patient database
Correct Answer: a compilation of pertinent information gleaned from the patient
history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests
Question 16.
What does increased dead space cause?
Correct Answer: Hypoxemia and hypercarbia in cats, small dogs, small animals,
and pediatric patients
Question 17.
Syncope
Correct Answer: fainting episode often caused by hypoxemia, low blood
pressure, or cardiac disease
Question 18.
What does dehydration cause?
Correct Answer: anesthetic complications including hypotension, poor tissue
perfusion, and kidney damage
Question 19.
Lethargic
Correct Answer: mildly decreased LOC that can be aroused with minimal
difficulty
Question 20.
Obtunded
