Answer to Question 1

B
General anesthesia is administered during major procedures requiring extensive tissue manipulation or any time analgesia, muscle relaxation, immobility, and control of the autonomic nervous system are required. Regional anesthesia results in loss of sensation in an area of the body by anesthetizing sensory pathways. This type of anesthesia is
accomplished by injecting a local anesthetic along the pathway of a nerve from the spinal cord. Administration techniques include peripheral nerve blocks and spinal, epidural, and caudal blocks. A patient requires careful monitoring during and immediately after regional anesthesia for return of sensation and movement distal to the regional anesthesia.

Answer to Question 2

C
When replacing fluids by mouth in a patient with ECV deficit, choose fluids that contain Na+ (e.g., Pedialyte and Gastrolyte). Liquids containing lactose, caffeine, or low Na+ content are not appropriate when a patient has diarrhea. Strategies to encourage fluid intake include offering small sips of fluid frequently, popsicles, and ice chips.

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.
