Answer to Question 1

ANS: T
Since multidose tubes of ointment are easily contaminated, the first 1/2 inch is squeezed out and discarded, and then the appropriate portion is applied to the sterile field. Once on the sterile field, it should be labeled.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
An ideal anesthetic agent should provide amnesia, have a rapid onset and easy reversibility, maximum safety with minimum side effects and provide predictable analgesia that extends into the postoperative period.
