What is the function of a laryngoscope?
1.
To obtain tissue samples from the trachea
2.
To facilitate endotracheal intubation by allowing direct visualization of the
opening to the trachea
3.
To cover the esophagus and prevent regurgitation during surgery
4.
To provide a way for anesthetic gases to be delivered - (ANSWER)The function of
a laryngoscope is to facilitate endotracheal intubation by allowing direct
visualization of the opening to the trachea. Anesthetic gases are delivered via an
endotracheal tube. A laryngoscope is not used to obtain tissue samples or to
cover the esophagus and prevent regurgitation during surgery.
It is safe to draw ≅1% of a bird's body weight of blood. For a 450 g bird, how
much blood can be taken safely?
,1. 0.45 mL
2. 4.5 mL
3. 45 mL
4. 450mL
450 mL - (ANSWER)4.5ml
Blood weighs approximately 1 g/mL. 1% of 450 g = 4.5 g. 4.5 g of blood is
approximately 4.5 mL. 450 g x 0.01 x 1 mL/g = 4.5 mL.
Which of the following ultrasound artifacts will likely be produced when the
sound wave strikes a metal object or a pocket of air?
1. Edge shadowing
2. Comet tail
3. Mirror image
4. Acoustic enhancement - (ANSWER)Comet tail
When a sound wave strikes a metal object or air, a comet-tail artifact will likely be
produced. A comet-tail artifact appears as a series of closely interspaced and
intense reverberations or reflections that resemble the tail of a comet. Edge
shadowing occurs when the sound wave is redirected by an interface and a
shadow is cast from the edge of an object. Mirror image artifact occurs when the
sound wave strikes a strong reflective surface and is misinterpreted by the
ultrasound machine, which writes the same image on the opposite side of the
reflector to create a mirror image. Acoustic enhancement occurs when the sound
,wave accelerates through a fluid-filled medium and the intensity is stronger,
which enhances the tissue behind it.
When conducting a tooth-by tooth evaluation with dental radiographs, when is
the client given the total estimate for care?
1. On the telephone when the appointment is made
2. In the examination room
3. When the animal is picked up after treatment
4. After the evaluation is completed while the patient is still anesthetized -
(ANSWER)After the evaluation is completed while the patient is still anesthetized
It is critical that the owner is notified of any changes to the treatment plan. The
oral exam is performed in two parts. The first part is in the exam room with the
patient awake. The initial treatment plan can be presented at this point. The
second part of the exam is performed after the patient is anesthetized. Each
tooth, the oral cavity, and full-mouth radiographs are performed. After this is
accomplished, the owner should be contacted and be told whether the treatment
plan will remain the same or will change in any way. This is also a good
opportunity to update the owner on the patient's condition under anesthesia and
to provide a tentative completion time.
Taking a complete and accurate patient history:
1. Is an important task that may be performed by veterinary technicians
2. Should only be performed by a veterinarian
, 3. Is only necessary if the patient has never been to the hospital
4. Is not necessary for wellness exams in healthy patients - (ANSWER)Is an
important task that may be performed by veterinary technicians
The veterinary technician who is capable of obtaining a complete and accurate
history can play a critical role in a busy veterinary practice. Obtaining information
from clients is often time consuming, and veterinary technicians who can do this
well free veterinarians to complete other work. Using historical information, as
well as other parts of the database, the veterinary technician should be able to
generate technician evaluations and to formulate appropriate technician
interventions to support the patient. Patient exams are important every time a
patient visits the hospital, even during wellness exams.
Which of these signs is not an indication of dystocia?
1. Green or black vulvar discharge
2. Profuse vulvar hemorrhage
3. Pup or kitten in the birth canal for 5 minutes
4. More than 1 hour of vigorous contractions with no pup or kitten produced -
(ANSWER)Green or black vulvar discharge
This normal during parturition, and it is therefore not an indication of dystocia.
Dystocia is considered when there is active straining for >60 minutes without
delivering a fetus, no straining for >4 hours when fetuses are present, weak
contractions lasting >2 hours, or if the mother or fetuses are showing signs of
