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
CORRECT ANSWER
A. 1,2,and 3 only
1
,Question 3
When should the patient's chest tubes be attached to the drainage system during a
thoracotomy?
A. After the thoracic cavity is closed
B. Immediately upon insertion
C. Within an hour of the procedure
D. Upon arrival in the PACU
CORRECT ANSWER
A
Question 4
In patients who develop fever, abdominal pain, and profuse diarrhea, the MOST frequently
seen antibiotic-associated enterocolitis is due to which of the following organisms?
A. Enterobacter cloacae
B. Enterococcus faecalis
C. Pseudomonas aeruginosa
D Clostridium difficile
CORRECT ANSWER
D
Question 5
During a carotid endarterectomy, the final occlusion clamp to be removed after
anastomosis is on the
A. Common carotid.
2
, B. Internal carotid.
C. External carotid.
D. Thyroid branch.

Question 6
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
CORRECT 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.
