Answer to Question 1

B
General anesthesia is administered during major procedures requiring extensive tissue manipulation or any time analgesia, muscle relaxation, immobility, and control of the autonomic nervous system are required. Regional anesthesia results in loss of sensation in an area of the body by anesthetizing sensory pathways. This type of anesthesia is
accomplished by injecting a local anesthetic along the pathway of a nerve from the spinal cord. Administration techniques include peripheral nerve blocks and spinal, epidural, and caudal blocks. A patient requires careful monitoring during and immediately after regional anesthesia for return of sensation and movement distal to the regional anesthesia.

Answer to Question 2

C
When replacing fluids by mouth in a patient with ECV deficit, choose fluids that contain Na+ (e.g., Pedialyte and Gastrolyte). Liquids containing lactose, caffeine, or low Na+ content are not appropriate when a patient has diarrhea. Strategies to encourage fluid intake include offering small sips of fluid frequently, popsicles, and ice chips.
