Answer to Question 1
ANS: A
Routine general anesthesia is usually induced by the IV route with a hypnotic, anxiolytic, or dissociative agent. However, general anesthesia may be induced by IV or by inhalation. The nurse should consult with the anesthesia care provider to determine the method selected for this patient. The anesthesia care provider will select the method of anesthesia, not the surgeon. Inhalation agents may be given through an endotracheal tube or a laryngeal mask airway.
Answer to Question 2
ANS: D

Staff members such as the circulating nurse do not have to perform a surgical scrub before entering the OR.
