Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Only moist sponges should be kept on the field while the ESU is in use. Dry sponges can ignite. A suction evacuator device should be placed as close to the source of plume as possible to maximize the evacuation of smoke and enhance visibility at the surgical site.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The continuous or pulsed wave of the Nd:YAG laser penetrates deeper into tissues than do other lasers. It coagulates large vessels up to 4 mm and has the most powerful coagulating action of all the surgical lasers.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
