Explanation

Question 4 of 19

1

In regard to the control of WAGs, a scavenging system:

Select one of the following:

  • reduces the escape of waste anesthetic gas by leak testing.

  • leads to less waste pollution by the control of flow rate carrier gas.

  • controls the waste gas concentration by anesthetic time.

  • captures waste anesthetic gases by attaching to a machine and discharging them outside the clinic.

Explanation

Question 5 of 19

1

Which of the following scenarios would lead to the highest level of waste gas contamination?

Select one of the following:

  • A bottle of isoflurane is dropped and broken while refilling the vaporizer.

  • A fractious cat is “boxed down” in an induction chamber.

  • A dog is sedated using an anesthesia mask and isoflurane.

  • A dog is intubated and the endotracheal tube is not inflated prior to the use of isoflurane.

Explanation

Question 6 of 19

1

Which of the following is believed to be the least toxic inhalation agent?

Explanation

Question 7 of 19

1

Short-term problems related to the inhalation of WAGs include symptoms of fatigue, headache, and irritability, due to:

  • metabolism of the WAGs by the kidneys.

  • effect of anesthetic molecules on the brain neurons.

  • excretion of the WAGs by the kidneys.

Explanation

Question 8 of 19

1

  • collect waste gas from the machine and conduct it to a disposal point outside the building.

Explanation

Question 9 of 19

1
