A complication of steep reverse Trendelenburg position is
A. deep vein thrombosis.
B. arterial compression.
C. cardiac overload.
D. respiratory alkalosis. - ANSWER A. Steep reverse Trendelenburg position decreases
venous return. Sequential compression stockings are applied to prevent deep venous
thrombosis.
Which of the following positions should be utilized for posterior colpotomy?
A.prone
B.supine
C.lithotomy
D. Fowler's - ANSWER C. Colpotomy is an incision into the vagina. The lithotomy position
is necessary for access to this region of the body.
Which of the following BEST prevents hypothermia in the OR?
A. forced air warming blanket
B.warmed IV solution
C. warmed irrigation solution
D. multiple layers of warm blankets - ANSWER A. Patient positioning leads to greater
body surface exposure to cool temperatures. Forced air warming blankets are most
effective in preventing cutaneous loss of body heat over the greatest surface area.
,OR humidity must be maintained between which of the following ranges?
A. 5% to 20%
B. 20% to 60%
C.40% to 80%
D. 50% to 90% - ANSWER 20% to 60% moisture provides a conductive medium and
allows a static charge to flow and ground as fast as a spark is generated.
An important process in which all team members must participate just prior to incision
is called the
A.huddle.
B.timeout.
C.debriefing.
D.consent. - ANSWER B timeout
6.
Which of the following is Mohs surgery used to treat?
A.malignant melanoma and basal cell carcinoma
B.basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma
C.malignant melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma
D.basal cell and Merkel cell carcinoma - ANSWER B. Mohs surgery is used to treat basal
cell and squamous cell skin cancers. It is a specialized technique that involves excising
the lesion, layer by layer, and examining each layer under the microscope until all
abnormal tissue is removed.
,7.

the patient's K+ is 5.4. The patient is suffering from which of the following?
A. hyperkalemia
B. hypokalemia
C. hypercalcemia
D. hypocalcemia - ANSWER A. The patient is suffering from hyperkalemia, a condition in
which there is too much potassium in the blood.
Normal potassium levels range between 3.5 - 5.0.
Hypercalcemia - ANSWER condition in which too much calcium is in the blood.
Hypocalcemia - ANSWER a condition in which there is not enough calcium in the blood.
Hypokalemia - ANSWER low level of potassium in the blood
8.
Which of the following are the preferred positioning devices used during surgical
procedures?
A.foam pads
B.saline bags
C.gel pads
D.sheet rolls - ANSWER gel pads
, Which of the following could occur as a result of a tourniquet causing excessive pressure
on the nerves?
A.paralysis
B.ischemia
C.hematoma
D.necrosis - ANSWER A. Paralysis may result from excessive pressure on the nerves.
.
Which of the following positions is used for an LAVH?
A.reverse Trendelenburg
B.supine
C.lateral recumbent
D.lithotomy - ANSWER D. The lithotomy position allows for access to the pelvic and
abdominal cavities simultaneously.
Which of the following types of positioning injury occurs when underlying tissue is
stationary while the skeletal structure moves?
A.friction injury
B.pressure injury
C.shear injury
D.negativity injury - ANSWER Shear injury
Which of the following patient positions would be MOST likely to cause an obturator
nerve injury?
