which of the following congenital anomalies does the urethra open on the underside of the penis A. chordee B. epispadias C. phimosis D. hypospadias - Answer-D. Which of the following are used for skin preparation prior to surgery? 1. Triclosan 1% 2. alcohol 70% 3. povidone-iodine 4. glutaraldehyde A. 1, 2, and 3 only B. 1, 2, and 4 only C. 1, 3, and 4 only D. 2, 3, and 4 only - Answer-A. 1,2,and 3 only When should the patient's chest tubes be attached to the drainage system during a thoracotomy?

The clamp on the internal carotid artery should be removed last so that all debris left in the area is flushed out through the external carotid artery. During a routine abdominal hysterectomy, the anesthesiologist notes that the patient is becoming progressively tachycardic. He notes that there has been virtually no blood loss. The surgeon requests additional muscle relaxation because the patient's abdominal musculature is "tightening up." The esophageal temperature probe indicates a core body temperature of 103°F (39°C). The anesthesiologist notices that the CO2 monitors are alarming with high levels. The anesthesiologist turns off his anesthetic agent, hyperventilates the patient with 100% oxygen, and administers which of the following drugs? A. succinylcholine B. dantrolene C. atropine D. epinephrine - Answer-B.The scenario is describing the anesthesia emergency malignant hyperthermia (MH). Dantrolene is the medication given to combat MH (2-3 mg/kg until signs are controlled). Some signs of MH are tachycardia, tachypnea, hypercarbia, muscle stiffness and rigidity, hypoxia, elevated BP, cardiac dysrhythmias, changes in CO2 absorption, and elevated temperature. A pledgeted suture is used for hemostasis in liver injury to A. align the suture placement. B. add bulk to the injury site. C. reduce the likelihood of suture cut- through. D. provide traction for increased exposure. - Answer-C. Pledgeted sutures (buttresses) are sutures passed through a small patch of reinforcing material (usually Teflon). This type of suture is used in areas where the surgeon considers buffering to be beneficial, particularly in delicate or friable tissue.During cardiac arterial bypass grafting, a surgeon needs to vasodilate and stop arterial spasm.
