answers.
Induction, excitement, operative, overdose
Which of the four stages of anesthesia should be attained before surgery is started on an animal? ANS -
Operative
What are the four stages of anesthesia? ANS - Induction ,excitement. operative, and overdose
All animals should be routinely fasted before anesthesia. ANS - False
Why is it not generally necessary to fast rodents and rabbits prior to anesthesia ANS - Because they
don't have a vomiting reflex.
What best defines a drug dose? ANS - Amount of drug given at one time
Who usually decides on the dose rate to be used for a specific drug? ANS - The Veterinarian
Dose rates are generally expressed as: ANS - mg/kg
Dosage regimen refers to the complete description of the therapeutic drug treatment, including the:
ANS - dose, route of administration (for example, SC),
frequency of administration (for example, twice daily),&
duration (for example, 1 week).
In selecting the dose rate for a drug:
the first consideration is what effect is desired: ANS - sedation, analgesia, or anesthesia.
, Even a slight dose miscalculation can result in the: ANS - animal feeling pain during a procedure if the
dose is insufficient.
The anesthesia plan typically includes the consideration of these elements: ANS - pre-anesthetic
treatment, anesthetic induction,
anesthesia maintenance, and post-operative analgesia.
What is one reason to use a pre-anesthetic treatment? ANS - Reduce the amount of anesthetic needed
Atropine and glycopyrrolate are which type of drugs? ANS - Anticholinergics
In which group does acetylpromazine belong? ANS - Tranquilizer and sedatives
Which of the following is an effect of phenothiazine tranquilizers? ANS - Muscle relaxation, peripheral

Xylazine is a sedative that has an analgesic effect. ANS - True
Xylazine is which type of drug? ANS - Alpha 2-adrenergic agonist
Benzodiazepine tranquilizers do not have analgesic properties. ANS - True
Pentobarbital has little analgesic action unless> ANS - animals are deeply anesthetized.
Barbiturates are widely used for animal anesthesia because: ANS - They are easy to administer and
quite inexpensive.
They also provide a relatively long duration of anesthesia with a single dose.
When given IV, barbiturates cause a rapid loss of consciousness
