Answer to Question 1

ANS:
0.5 mL
Desired/available  volume = milliliters per dose
25 mg/50 mg  1 mL = 0.5 mL/per dose

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D
To prevent aspiration of gastric contents during general anesthesia administration of medications to raise the gastric pH and make secretions less acidic, such as citric acid (Bicitra) and ranitidine (Zantac) may be prescribed. In addition, medications to reduce secretions, such as glycopyrrolate (Robinul) may be prescribed. Hydroxyzine (Vistaril) and promethazine (Phenergan) are used to prevent and relieve nausea often associated with opioids.
