Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Secondary hyperparathyroidism occurs most frequently in patients with chronic renal failure. Primary hyperparathyroidism occurs more often in women between 60 and 70 years of age. Although hyperparathyroidism can occur at any age, the patient with diabetes or thyroid disorder would not be at higher risk for the disorder.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C
Feedback:
Propofol often is used for short procedures because it has a very rapid clearance and produces much less of a hangover effect and allows for quick recovery. It is a very short-acting anesthetic with a rapid onset of action of 30 to 60 seconds. Propofol often causes local burning on injection.
