Pharmacology for Surgical Technology Exam Questions with Complete Solutions Rated 100%
ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) and AANA (American Association of Nurse Anesthetists) -
Answers Who have published standards of care regarding patient monitoring?
anesthesia - Answers What literally means "without sensation"?
Local, regional, sedation/monitored anesthesia care (MAC), and general - Answers What are the four
major types of anesthetic techniques?
anesthesia provider - Answers Who is monitoring direct observation of the patient?
electrocardiography and blood pressure - Answers Circulation is monitored by?
direct observation and by the use of the pulse oximeter - Answers The patient's oxygen saturation is
monitored by?
electrocardiography - Answers What is the process of recording the electrical impulses of the heart?
60-100 bpm - Answers What is the ECG of an adult resting?
70-130 bpm - Answers What is the ECG of children one to ten years old?
80-120 bpm - Answers What is the ECG of infants (1-11 months)?
70-190 bpm - Answers What is the ECG of Newborns (0- 30 days)?
Pulse oximetry function - Answers Oxygen saturation should be above 95% in health patients
Blood pressure function - Answers Less than 120 mm Hg systolic and less than 80 mm Hg diastolic
Temperature function - Answers 37 C or 98 F
Capnometry function - Answers Sustained carbon dioxide waveform greater than 30 mm Hg indicates
correct placement of endotracheal tube
Consciousness function - Answers A scaled number between 45 and 60 indicates an appropriate depth
of general anesthesia
Neuromuscular function - Answers Zero of the four twitches indicates complete muscle relaxation
Arterial pressure function - Answers Establish patient baseline waveform and monitor changes; digital
values range 90-140/60-90 mm Hg
Central venous pressure function - Answers Establish patient baseline waveform and monitor changes;
digital values are inconsistent and less reliable than waveform analysis?
Pulmonary artery pressure function - Answers Establish patient baseline waveform and monitor
changes; digital values range 15-25/8-15 mm Hg but are less reliable than waveform
,True - Answers The surgical technologist in the circulating role may assist the anesthesia provider in
placing the electrodes, which should be securely adhered to areas of clean, dry skin.
five lead system - Answers In what system are electrodes placed on each shoulder, each hip, and in the
fifth intercostal space near the left anterior axillary line?
auscultation with a precordial stethoscope - Answers What is the ECG supplemented by?
Auscultation - Answers What is listening to the sounds of the chest, e.g., the heart rate, rhythm, and
pulmonary sounds called?
Auscultation - Answers What is also used to assess respiratory rate and lungs sounds as well as verify
placement of airway devices used in general anesthesia?
Pulse oximetry - Answers What is a noninvasive measure of the oxygen saturation of blood?
finger, toe, or earlobe - Answers Where is the two-sided sensory probe attached? (pulse oximetry)
intravenous dyes (methylene blue) - Answers What can affect readiings of pulse oximetry?
True - Answers Vasoconstriction due to hypothermia can affect reading when using a finger sensor
pulse rate - Answers An audible signal reflects?
saturation - Answers The signal tone indicates?
audible signal - Answers What must be loud enough to be heard by all members of the operating room
team?
Blood pressure - Answers What is the measure of the force of blood against the vessel wall?
Brachial artery - Answers Where is blood pressure typically measured?
systolic pressure - Answers The point at which the pulse is first detected is?
diastolic pressure - Answers The point at which the pulse can no longer be detected is?
skin, axilla, bladder, esophagus, and ear - Answers Temperature may be assessed from any number of
locations, including?
hypothermia - Answers Core temperatures lower than 36 degrees C indicate?
hypothermia - Answers What alters several normal body functions and it is associated with an increased
risk of surgical site infections?
Pediatric and geriatric - Answers What patients are particularly vulnerable to a drop in temperature?
Capnometry - Answers What is measurement of carbon dioxide (CO2) exhaled by the patient, called
end-tidal CO2?
, Capnometry - Answers What is used to verify adequate ventilation whenever the patient is under heavy
sedation or general anesthesia?
In general anesthesia - Answers An adapter is connected to the breathing circuit and a small diameter
piece of tubing extends from the adapter to the analyzer in? (Capnometry)
sedated patient - Answers An oxygen cannula with a CO2 sampling tube is available to monitor the?
True - Answers The concentration of expired CO2 is measured and displayed as a continuous graph and
in numerical value.
Esophageal intubation, compromised ventilation, or malignant hyperthermia - Answers Capnometry is
an extremely valuable tool in the assessment of respiratory function and can serve a critical role in early
detection of problems such as?
SARA (system for anesthetic and respiratory analysis) - Answers What is not frequently used in current
practice?
peripheral nerve stimulation - Answers What is also used to assess the extent to which muscle relaxants
are wearing off and the patient is becoming ready to breathe on his o her own after surgery?
Advanced monitoring - Answers Arterial catheterization and pressure monitoring, central venous
catheterization and pressure monitoring, and pulmonary artery catheterization are examples of what
techniques?
Arterial pressure-monitoring catheter - Answers What is usually placed in the radial artery and
connected to a transducer that records continuous, immediate, and highly accurate measurement of
blood pressure?
True - Answers Placement of an arterial line is indicated for a number of reasons, including potential for
rapid changes in blood pressure, frequent sampling of arterial blood for blood gas analysis (ABGs), or
when routine blood pressure measurement is inaccurate.
CVP line (Central venous pressure-monitoring catheter) - Answers What is positioned in the superior
vena cava and is used to assess the volume of blood returning to the heart?
CVP line - Answers What is also used to assess the need for fluid replacement and to prevent fluid
overload?
Pulmonary artery catheter (such as a SwanGanz catheter) - Answers What is guided through the heart
into a branch of the pulmonary artery to obtain measurements of central venous pressure, pulmonary
artery pressure, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, and cardiac output?
Pulmonary artery catheter - Answers What are most frequently used in adult patients during cardiac
surgery, lung transplantation, and liver transplantation?
