>General anesthesia.
An example of a procedure that would use local
anesthetic is: a.) Cataract extraction on an infant b.)
Chalazion extraction on an adult
c.) Non-contact tonometry
d.) Corneal topography studies - - CORRECT ANSWER - >B. Chalazion
extraction on an adult
Local anesthetic an be injected into the area of the nerve that supplies
sensation to the surgical site. This is known as: - - CORRECT ANSWER -
>A regional block.
A regional block would be useful in which of the
following surgeries: a.) Chalazion excision b.) Corneal
transplant
c.) Radial keratotomy
d.) Laser trabeculoplasty - - CORRECT ANSWER - >B. A corneal transplant
would be done with a regional block.
,Epinephrine might be added to a local anesthetic in
order to: a.) Increase systemic absorption of the drug b.)
Reduce bleeding at the surgical site
c.) Enhance wound healing
d.) Move anesthetic out of the area quickly - - CORRECT ANSWER - >b.)
Reduce bleeding at the surgical site. Epinephrine causes blood
vessels to constrict, so that would actually decrease systemic
absorption.
Hyaluronidase is sometimes added to a local anesthetic in order to: - -
CORRECT ANSWER - >Increase the local spreading of the drug.
In addition to eliminating sensation, local anesthetic is sometimes
required to: - - CORRECT ANSWER - >Prevent movement.

c.) Butane, tetracaine
d.) Benoxinate, butacaine - - CORRECT ANSWER - >A. Lidocaine and

ANSWER - >Dizziness and nausea.

BP, slowing of respiration
Which of the following drugs is an
anesthetic? a.) Mannitol b.)
Cortisone
c.) Cocaine
d.) Betaxolol - - CORRECT ANSWER - >C. COCAINE. "-caine" usually

d.) Applanation tonometry - - CORRECT ANSWER - >C. Contact lens
fittings are done without anesthetic in order to get the patient used
to feeling something on his eye.
The most common side effect of topical anesthetics is: - - CORRECT
ANSWER - >Contact allergic reaction- some patients might have

butacaine aren't used often. All the others are local anesthetics.
After instilling a topical anesthetic into the eye, the patient should be
warned: - - CORRECT ANSWER - >Not to rub the eye.
The function of mydriatics is to stimulate: - - CORRECT ANSWER - >The
dilator muscle in the iris.
During the routine eye exam, mydriatics are used
to: a.) facilitate applanation
b.) facilitate the fundus exam
c.) facilitate refractometry
d.) increase patient comfort - - CORRECT ANSWER - >B. Dilated pupils
are easier to see in.
The most common mydriatic in ophthalmic use is: - - CORRECT ANSWER
- >Phenylephrine
Phenylephrine causes dilation how quickly and wears off
how quickly? a.) Dilation in 15 minutes, wears off in 1-2
hours b.) Dilation in 15 minutes, wears off in 24 hours
