Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Gloves, not gown, mask, or eye protection, are the most commonly used protective item.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
General anesthesia blocks all body sensations and cause unconsciousness, relaxation and loss of reflexes. A local, regional, conduction blocks or spinal anesthesia disrupts sensation to the specific body areas or parts without causing unconsciousness. A local anesthetic may be administered intravenously, rectally, or by inhalation.
