Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

The posttreatment recovery room for ECT should contain oxygen and suctioning equipment, an emergency cart, a pulse oximeter, and vital-sign monitoring equipment. A tympanic thermometer, spirometer, and padded restraints are not necessary equipment related to ECT treatment.
