Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
Even with a mask on in the OR, personnel still can inhale vapors that escape from a facemask on a patient and gases such as nitrous oxide can be retained anywhere from 7 to 64 hours after administration of the drug. Health hazards from chronic exposure to anesthetic gas are spontaneous abortion and congenital abnormalities and neuropathy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: F
Microshock occurs when current is applied to a very small contact area of skin. Macroshock occurs when electricity is applied to the trunk of the body.
