In the elderly patient population, propofol (Diprivan) sensitivity causes a decrease in a
dosage requirement of:
A. < 5%
B. 10% - 20%

, C. 30% - 50%
Sensitivity to propofol in the elderly patient population is increased by
30%-50% as a result of decreased clearance and increased brain sensitivity.
Pharmacologic characteristics that best describe the effect of naloxone at the opioid

A common fibular nerve injury is suspected following a lengthy laparoscopic-assisted
vaginal hysterectomy. Which findings confirm this diagnosis? (Select 2)
A. Footdrop
B. Loss of cutaneous sensation in the anterior aspect of the upper leg

A. Footdrop
C. Loss of cutaneous sensation in the lateral and anterior aspect of the

Common peroneal nerve injury may result from direct pressure, excessive
, stretch due to prolonged flexion of the knee, and excessive external
rotation of the hip. Injury manifests as loss of cutaneous sensation in the
lateral and anterior aspect of the lower leg or footdrop
Successful laryngoscopy for intubation requires alignment of which 3 axes? (Select 3)

Which IV induction drug could be administered to treat persistent bronchospasm?
A. Dexmedetomidine (Precedex)
B. Etomidate (Amidate)
C. Ketamine (Ketalar)
D. Propofol (Diprivan)

, C. Ketamine
Ketamine is a potent bronchodilator and can be used to treat persistent
bronchospasm.
ETCO2 can increase due to: (Select 2)
A. Hypothermia
B. Pulmonary artery embolism
C. Seizures
D. Sepsis

C. Seizures
D. Sepsis
ETCO2 can be altered based on a patient's pathophysiologic condition. For
example, increased ETCO2 occurs with malignant hyperthermia, sepsis,
tourniquet release, fever, and seizures. Decreased ETCO2 can occur with
conditions that can decrease the manufacture or delivery of carbon
dioxide. Some examples of this are pulmonary embolism, hypovolemia, low
metabolism, hemorrhage, and decreased temperature.
Which factors can increase the chance of vitreous herniation during the induction of
anesthesia in a patient with an open eye injury? (Select 2)
A. Administration of rocuronium (Zemuron)
B. Coughing, straining, and bucking
C. Face mask pressure
D. Initiation of hyperventilation
