Ketamine can cause hallucinations. The best drug to give along with ketamine, to reduce the
incidence of these unwanted side effects is:
Versed
Classic symptoms of CHF include:
SOB and swollen ankles
A pt has stopped breathing. What is the main primary physiological mechanism that will restart
this patients breathing
Excess of Co2
The most common cardia rhythms seen on the EKG for an adult patient in cardiac arrest is?
Ventricular fibrillation
The most concerning signs and symptoms of an acute anaphylactic reaction are
Airway edema & Circulatory collapse
The QRS complex in the EKG represents
ventricular depolarization
Which of the follow general drug categories are used to treat someone who is experiencing
asthma attack
Beta agonists
Your doctor has started an IV. You are booking the IV line and bag of IV fluids to the catheter.

There are two main categories of local anesthetic used in dentistry. The most common category
of local anesthetic user in OMS is an:
Amide

Beta agonists
A patient has taken 20mg of prednisone daily for over 30 years due to her rheumatoid arthritis.
Your doctor is planning to remove a difficult deeply impacted wisdom tooth. Our pre operative

The normal pathway of the conduction system in the heart is the following:
SA Node, AV Node, Bundle of His, Purkinje Fibers
myocardial infarction (MI) of the heart muscle is reversible
False
The P wave in the EKG represents
atrial depolarization
When Epinephrine is added to local anesthetic it helps maintain the local anesthetic close to the
inferior alveolar nerve potentially making it more effective for profound local anesthesia
(mandibular block). This should theoretically:
Decrease the number of cartridges needed to ovarian profound local anesthesia
