Anesthesia QODs UPDATED ACTUAL Questions and CORRECT Answers
1. b. agent-specific keyed filling ports Safety features that prevent filling of the vaporizer
with an incorrect agent include:
a. the pin index safety system
b. agent-specific keyed filing ports
c. the diameter index safety system
d. counter-threading of the bottle attachment
2. c. the use of a bipolar cautery A 76-year-old man is scheduled for a hemicolectomy.
His past medical history is significant for third degree
heart block treated with a permanent pacemaker.
Problems with electrocautery use in this patient can
be minimized by:
a. placing the grounding pad near the pacemaker
b. using infrequent bursts of longer duration
c. the use of a bipolar cautery
d. reducing the surface area of the return electrode
3. Bipolar cautery Electrical interference from the electrocautery can be
interpreted by the pacemaker as myocardial activity
and suppress pacemaker activity. These problems can
be minimized by limiting use to short bursts, placing
the grounding pad as far from the pacemaker as
possible and using a?
4. a. is not a party to the litigation A person acting as an amicus curiae:
a. is not a party to the litigation
b. gives expert testimony for the defense
c. gives expert testimony for the plaintitt
d. cannot file a written brief
5. A phrase meaning 'friend of the amicus curiae

, volved in litigation but who believes
the court's decision may affect their
interests. An expert, not affiliated
