Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,3,5
Rationale 1: Benzodiazepines or short-acting barbiturates are used to reduce anxiety and facilitate sedation.
Rationale 2: Preoperative adjuncts are not associated with a faster recovery.
Rationale 3: Preoperative adjunct medications such as histamine-2 receptor agonists or anticholinergics are used to reduce the risk of aspiration pneumonia.
Rationale 4: Preoperative adjuncts are not associated with a reduced risk of a postoperative ileus.
Rationale 5: If the pain level is moderate or mild, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are administered because they cause fewer serious adverse reactions than opioids.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1,2,3,5
Rationale 1: Benzodiazepines reduce anxiety, produce central nervous system depression, and relax skeletal muscle.
Rationale 2: Neuromuscular blockers provide skeletal muscle relaxation, which is an important component of general anesthesia.
Rationale 3: Inhaled agents are used to maintain an anesthetized state.
Rationale 4: Proton-pump inhibitors are not used in balanced anesthesia
Rationale 5: Intravenous anesthetics relax muscles, diminish pain, and produce sleep.
