Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 3, 4
A correctly performed time out includes verifying the right client; the correct procedure; the correct site and side; the correct surgeon; the correct position; the correct equipment, instruments, and implants if necessary. The correct day and time are not parts of the surgical time out.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 4
The advantages of methadone include that it decreases the need for antidepressant adjuvant medication because it increases the release of serotonin and norepinephrine, dosing is every 12 hours, and it is inexpensive. Disadvantages of this medication include: it has a long half-life; it cannot be used for intermittent pain management; and it does cause respiratory depression.
