  • False

Question 7

Question
Depression occurs when there is a lack of one of the amine neurotransmitters (serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine) .

Answer
  • -caine
  • -caide
  • -olol

Question 30

Question
Why is epinephrine commonly administered with local anesthetics?
Answer
  • The vasoconstrictive ability of epinephrine limits the distribution of the drug, thus avoiding the toxic effect which occurs when too much of the drug reaches systemic circulation.
  • Epinephrine increases HR, thus limiting the amount of time the drug stays in one place which can cause necrosis.
  • Epinephrine is not commonly administered with a local anesthetic. You are thinking of Norepinephrine.
  • Many patients are allergic to local anesthetics, so administering epinephrine prior to the local anesthetic minimizes the chance of an allergic reaction.

Question
What is a Bier Block?

Question 32

Question
Heating modalities accelerate transdermal absorption of local anesthetics. Thus, applying moist heat before beginning ROM components of therapy is beneficial because it will help the patient stretch further.
Answer
  • True
  • False
