Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The type and amount of anesthetics may need to be adjusted if patients consume large amounts of alcohol as well as for those who smoke, who are pregnant, or who are obese. These questions are asked prior to surgery so providers can plan for this.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
An inhaled anesthetic is given to induce anesthesia and is maintained throughout the surgical procedure. The other medications are given prior to anesthesia induction.
