Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
In patients who have history of severe postoperative nausea and vomiting, the anesthetist may substitute the inhalation anesthetic with a technique called total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA). TIVA is not necessarily indicated in patients who are pregnant or who have COPD. Insurance considerations would not normally be an absolute indication for the use of TIVA.

Answer to Question 2

B
