Question 1
Aseptic technique is also known as:
A. Clean technique
B. Sterile technique
C. Sterilization
D. Decontamination
CORRECT ANSWER
A. Clean technique
Aseptic technique refers to clean methods of containing microbial contamination in the
environment. The environment cannot be sterilized.

, An intrinsic factor is related to the health of the patient. Diabetes mellitus is an intrinsic
factor that contributes to the development of a pressure injury.
Question 3
Which of the following helps determine a patient's discharge destination?
A. Written discharge instructions from anesthesiology and medical staff
B. Risk of postoperative complications
C. Standardized pain scoring
D. General condition and readiness for discharge
CORRECT ANSWER
B. Risk of postoperative complications
The choice of discharge site is based on patient acuity, access to follow-up care, and the
potential for postoperative complications.
Question 4
Central nervous system (CNS) signs and symptoms of local anesthetic systemic toxicity
(LAST) include:
A. Hypertension
B. Numbness of lips and tongue
C. Respiratory depression
D. Elevated temperature
CORRECT ANSWER
B. Numbness of lips and tongue

, CNS symptoms of LAST include circumoral and tongue numbness. All other options are
not considered part of the CNS.
Question 5
Autologous bone grafts should be stored at a temperature of:
A. 68*F (20*C)
B. 32*F (0*C)
C. -4*F (-20*C)
D. -112*F (-80*C)
CORRECT ANSWER
C. -4*F (-20*C)
Maintaining storage temperatures within recommended parameters of -4*F (-20*C) helps
ensure that autografts are maintained in optimal conditions for successful replantation.
Question 6
When providing patient education for a child, it is important to understand which learning
characteristics of children?
A. Children are self-directed
B. Children use intrinsic thought processes
C. Children respond to use of activities that follow transitions of maturity.
D. Children respond to a trial-and-error approach
CORRECT ANSWER

, D. Children respond to a trial-and-error approach
When teaching children, using a trial-and-error approach is effective. Child learners are
task-oriented, use extrinsic thought processes, and value self-esteem.
Question 7
Which of the following actions would decrease radiation exposure during fluoroscopy
procedures?
A. Positioning the patient as close to the tube as possible
B. Positioning the patient as far from the image intensifier as possible
C. Positioning the patient as far from the monitor as possible
D. Positioning the patient as close to the image intensifier as possible
CORRECT ANSWER
D. Positioning the patient as close to the image intensifier as possible
The x-ray beams originate from the tube and are captured by the image intensifier.
Multiple studies have demonstrated that positioning the patient closer to the image
intensifier results in a significantly decreased dose of radiation.
Question 8
A perioperative nurse is assisting an anesthesia professional with a rapid-sequence
induction by providing cricoid pressure using the Sellick maneuver. Which of the following
is the most appropriate description of this technique?
A. Exerting down-and-up pressure on the cricoid cartilage to compress the trachea
B. Palpating for the thyroid cartilage and exerting pressure on it with a dominant index finger
and thumb to occlude the esophagus
