Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: Anesthesia via the epidural route is the most common for women during labor and delivery.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: Intravenous agents are usually administered first because they act within a few seconds. After the patient loses consciousness, inhaled agents are used to maintain the anesthesia. Patients require more anesthesia than just intravenous (IV) anesthesia. An intravenous (IV) agent, not an inhaled agent, is used to induce sleep. Inhaled agents are given after intravenous (IV) agents to maintain anesthesia, not if the intravenous (IV) agent is ineffective.
