Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A sharp trocar has a tip that is exposed and is shaped pyramidal or conical. A blunt trocar has a rounded tip, and a shielded trocar tip is protected by a spring-loaded shield. An initial trocar is one that is inserted first to establish access to instill gases or fluids.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: F
Shock is a state of inadequate blood perfusion to parts of the body. Shock is classified according to the cause of inadequate tissue perfusion: hypovolemic, hemorrhagic, cardiogenic, neurogenic, and vasogenic shock.
