Critical Thinking Questions Solutions
hj hj hj




1. Jada is a veterinary technician student who has done well in her previous courses,
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj


yet is anxious about taking the anesthesia course because it is one of the more
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj


advanced courses in her program. To be successful, she knows she will need to
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj


utilize information and skills she learned in previous courses and apply it, along with
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj


content she is currently learning, to perform advanced skills such as administering
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj


anesthesia to patients. As she reads the introductory chapter to prepare for her
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj


anesthesia class, she begins to feel overwhelmed with the amount of information
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj


she will need to learn in order to become a competent anesthetist. Jada texts one of
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj


her classmates to ask if she is the only one stressed about taking the anesthesia
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj


course. Jada learns that many other students are also concerned about whether they
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj


will be able to learn all of the information needed to administer anesthesia safely to
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj


their patients. Jada and her classmates decide to have a group chat about how they
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj


can be better prepared for their anesthesia class and less anxious when they have
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj


to perform anesthesia on patients. What are some things Jada and her classmates
hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj hj


can do now to help them prepare for their anesthesia class?
