2.What is the goal of sedation?: To stop awareness of painful procedures
3.What is the goal of analgesia?: Reduce pain to a tolerable level while still protecting airway and mentation
4.What should you administer and document prior to giving opioids or Ketamine?: Mental status exam with AVPU method
5.What 3 things should be monitored closely for casualties given opioids, Ketamine, or Benzodiazepines?: Airway, breathing, and circulation
6.Ketamine comes in different concentrations. The higher concentration, , is recommended when using the route to minimize the volume administered .: 100 mg/ml, IN, intranasally
7.What drugs should be available when using opioid analgesics, and in what dosage/route?: Naloxone, 0.4mg IV/IO/IM/IN
