Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Regional anesthesia occurs when an anesthetic agent is injected near a nerve or nerve pathway in or around the operative site, inhibiting the transmission of sensory stimuli to central nervous system receptors. The client remains awake but loses sensation in a specific area or region of the body.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
General anesthesia involves the administration of drugs by inhalation and intravenous routes to produce central nervous system depression. Inhalation anesthesia is often used because it has the advantage of rapid excretion and reversal of effects.
