When educating the 3
patient on what to expect
during the administration
of spinal anesthesia, the
perianesthesia nurse
understands that the
progression of blockage
occurs in the following
order:
1. sensory, motor,
autonomic
2. motor, sensory,
autonomic
3. autonomic, sensory,
motor
4. motor, autonomic,
sensory
,After extubation of a 3
patient, which of the
following would be
considered most
serious?
1. Sore throat
2. Impaired swallowing
ability
3. Inspiratory stridor
4. Hoarseness
Which of the following 1
interventions would be
used first to maintain
adequate perfusion and
oxygen supply to cardiac
muscles following
hepatic surgery in a
patient with a history of
coronary artery disease:
1. Ensure a hemoglobin
concentration ≥ 10 g.
2. Treat
tachydysrhythmias and
hypotension.
3. Monitor oxygen
saturation via pulse
oximetry.
4. Administer appropriate
medications.
,The use of the pulse 4
oximeter has become a
routine part of PACU
care. The post anesthesia
nurse may decide that
oximetry monitoring is
indicated when the
patient:
1. has had minor surgery.
2. has normal vital signs.
3. has had regional
anesthesia.
4. is severely
hypothermic.
The perianesthesia nurse 3
is aware that a dramatic
decrease in the calcium
may be cause by removal
of the:
1. pituitary gland.
2. thyroid gland.
3. parathyroid gland.
4. adrenal glands.
, Tidal volume is most 2
precisely defined as the
amount of:
1. air exchange in one
minute.
2. gas passing into or out
of the lungs in each
respiratory cycle.
3. gas remaining within
the chest after maximal
expiration.
4. air exchange with full
inspiration and expiration.
In caring for a preschool- 4
aged child, the
perianesthesia nurse is
aware that the child's
primary cause of anxiety
prior to surgery is:
1. fear of the medical
equipment.
2. striving for approval.
3. loss of privacy.
4. separation from
parents.
One of the most frequent 1
side effects of ketamine
anesthesia is:
1. hallucination.
2. respiratory depression.
3. hypotension.
4. bradycardia.
