Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
The choice of general anesthesia depends on factors that include the general physical condition of the client; the area, organ, or system being operated on; and the anticipated length of the surgical procedure. The selection of general anesthesia does not depend on the age of the client, the preanesthetic drug prescribed for the client, or the postoperative care involved.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
Skeletal muscle relaxants help produce relaxation of skeletal muscles during certain types of surgeries involving the chest or abdomen and are used to facilitate the insertion of an endotracheal tube. Barbiturates are used for the induction of anesthesia. Benzodiazepines are used to relieve anxiety, induce anesthesia, and consciously sedate the client before minor procedures. Opioid analgesics are used to produce neuroleptanalgesia characterized by general quietness, reduced motor activity, and profound analgesia.
