B. epispadias
C. phimosis
D. hypospadias - ANSWER D.

1. Triclosan 1%
2. alcohol 70%
3. povidone-iodine
4. glutaraldehyde
A. 1, 2, and 3 only
B. 1, 2, and 4 only
C. 1, 3, and 4 only
D. 2, 3, and 4 only - ANSWER
A. 1,2,and 3 only
At what time during thoracotomy should the chest tubes of the patient be
connected to the drainage system?
A. after closing the thoracic cavity
B. as soon as they are inserted
C. one hour postprocedure
D. in PACU arrival - ANSWER
A
In fever-producing, abdominal pain, and massive diarrhea patients, the MOST
frequent antibiotic-associated enterocolitis is due to which of the following
organisms?
A. Enterobacter cloacae
B. Enterococcus faecalis
C. Pseudomonas aeruginosa
D Clostridium difficile - ANSWER D
, During carotid endarterectomy, the final occlusion clamp to be removed after
anastomosis is on the
A. common carotid.
B. internal carotid.
C. external carotid.
D. thyroid branch. - ANSWER B. Remove the internal carotid clamp last so all

During a typical abdominal hysterectomy, the anesthesiologist notices that the
patient is more and more tachycardic. He says that there has been roughly no
blood loss. The surgeon requests more relaxation of the muscles because the
patient's abdominal musculature is "tightening up." The esophageal temperature
probe indicates a core body temperature of 103°F (39°C). The CO2 monitors
are beeping with high readings. The anesthesiologist turns off his anesthetic
agent hyperventilates the patient with 100% oxygen, and administers which of
the following medications?
A. succinylcholine
B. dantrolene
C. atropine
D. epinephrine - ANSWER B.The emergency is reporting malignant
hyperthermia (MH) anesthesia. Dantrolene is the medication given to combat
MH (2-3 mg/kg until symptoms are resolved). Tachycardia, tachypnea,
hypercarbia, rigidity and stiffness of muscles, hypoxia, increased BP, cardiac
dysrhythmias, changes in CO2 absorption, and elevated temperature are some of
the presentations of MH.
A pledgeted suture is used for liver injury hemostasis to
A. align the suture placement.
B. add bulk to the site of injury.
C. decrease the chance of suture cut-through.
D. allow traction for greater exposure. - ANSWER C. Pledgeted sutures
(buttresses) are sutures that pass through a small amount of reinforcing material
(generally Teflon). This type of suture is used where the surgeon wants
buffering to be beneficial, particularly in friable or delicate tissues.
During cardiac arterial bypass grafting, a surgeon is required to vasodilate and
also prevent arterial spasm. Which of the following drugs should be used?
