Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
Drugs such as dopamine or dobutamine can be given for vasomotor regulation; muscle relaxants are given to neutralize spinal reflexes and to relax the abdomen; diuretics are given for renal function; and heparin is given for anticoagulation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: F
The liver may be separated into two sections and used for two recipients. The left lobe or a left lateral segmental graft may be transplanted into an infant or child; the right side, which is larger, can be transplanted into an adult. The adult donor gives the left lobe (the smaller lobe) if the recipient is an infant or a child. The liver grows as the child grows over time.
