Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The BIS monitors the patient through processed EEG parameters by placing an electrode patch on the forehead and relaying brain signals to a monitor. The results are reduced drug use, faster wake-up time, and decreased risk of patient awareness during the surgical procedure. This potentially translates into faster discharge for ambulatory surgery patients. Potential benefits include a faster discharge when used with ambulatory patients.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The most common complication during insertion of the catheter is cardiac dysrhythmia, especially premature contractions. Other problems include infection, thrombus, pulmonary emboli, pulmonary infarction, pneumothorax, hemothorax, and vessel or heart perforation.
