QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS (100%
VERIFIED ANSWERS) | NEWEST 2025


Intravenous benzodiazepines produce a loss of which functions? - ANSWER
memory surrounding a procedure


Intravenous benzodiazepines, depending on the dosage, produce amnesia and/or
unconsciousness and reduce anxiety. Benzodiazepines do not affect sensation. A
loss of all sensations and consciousness is produced by inhaled general
anesthetics. Analgesics selectively cause loss of painful sensations. Neuromuscular
blockers relax skeletal muscles. See Lehne chapter 27 and pg 270.


A student nurse is reviewing the effect of medications on the central nervous
system (CNS). Which characteristics allow these drugs to cross the blood-brain
barrier? (Select all that apply.) - ANSWER move via transport system
lipid-soluble


The blood-brain barrier serves to protect the brain from the entry of most drugs.
Only those drugs that are lipid-soluble or can move by way of specific transport
systems are able to cross into the brain and affect the CNS. See Lehne pg 182.


A nurse is teaching a patient about the effects of an injectable local anesthetic.
Which statement best demonstrates the nurse's accurate understanding of the
effects of local anesthesia? - ANSWER Local anesthetics block the sensation of
pain first.

, Monitored anesthesia care (MAC), sometimes known as conscious sedation, is
planned for a patient undergoing a cataract extraction and lens implantation at
the outpatient surgical center. The patient asks the nurse to explain MAC. The
nurse's response is based on what knowledge about MAC? - ANSWER MAC
allows the patient to respond to commands and forget painful procedures.


An anesthesia-care provider plans to use a short-acting barbiturate for induction
of general anesthesia. Which drug does the intra-operative nurse expect will be
administered? - ANSWER sodium methohexital (Brevital)


*barbituates are "tal"*


A nurse is taking care of a patient who is 1 day postoperative. The patient is
receiving morphine sulfate by PCA for pain. Vital signs are: temperature 98.9° F,
apical pulse 88/minute, respirations 12/minute, and blood pressure 136/88 mm
Hg. The nurse would be most concerned about administering morphine sulfate
with which of the following classes of medications? - ANSWER
benzodiazepines


During general anesthesia a patient is noted to have hypoxemia, tachycardia,
muscle stiffness, and a markedly elevated temperature. The nurse's interventions
are based on the knowledge that these symptoms may be the result of combining
an inhalation anesthetic with which of the following adjunctive medications? -
ANSWER succinylcholine (Anectine)


Before administering pre-operative sedation to an ambulatory patient, the nurse
will take which action? - ANSWER assist the patient to the bathroom
