Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Field block local anesthesia involves injecting the anesthetic all around the area that will be affected by the procedure or surgery. This is more intense than infiltration anesthesia because the anesthetic agent comes in contact with all of the nerve endings surrounding the area. This type of block is often used for tooth extractions. Topical would not be appropriate because it would not absorb deeply enough to block pain impulses in the root of the tooth. Nerve block would not be possible for oral surgery.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The nurse would administer the medication as ordered because doses larger than those given to adults are often needed when cyclosporine is administered to children. This is not an error so the nurse would not hold the drug, question the provider, complete an incident report, or notify the nursing supervisor.
