Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The administration of a general anesthetic can be divided into three phases. The first phase is induction, which is rendering the patient unconscious by using inhalation anesthetics, intravenous anesthetics, or both. Adult patients usually receive a rapid-acting intravenous anesthetic medication. IM medications, sub-Q medications, and opioids are not used.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Although some adverse effects of monoclonal antibodies are rare, they are serious (e.g., heart failure, bleeding problems, electrolyte imbalances) and vary with a particular drug.
