Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, E
If the loss of sensation is to a very small part of the body, we call it local anesthesia. Dental procedures or minor suturing procedures are usually appropriate for local anesthesia.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Sudden and severe hypertension can result when MAO inhibitors are used with certain foods and beverages containing tyramine and other vasopressor amines.
