Questions:
General Anesthetics:
Questions always come up regarding factors that influence the rate of induction. Remember that onset of anesthesia is inversely proportional to solubility of the anesthetic in the blood. The more soluble the agent is in blood, the more must be given to reach critical tension in the brain.
A second set of questions has to do with adverse side effects of various general anesthetics. Halothane is associated with hepatotoxicity.
Some questions are based on the progressive depression of CNS function leading to anesthesia that characterized older anesthetic agents. Remember the 4 stages of anesthesia:
Stage I: analgesia
Stage II: delirium
Stage III: surgical anesthesia
Stage IV: medullary paralysis

Based on your performance on this Optometry Board Part 1 Practice Test, you’re not yet ready for the NBEO® Part 1.
Keep your head up! Also, don’t focus on your estimated score, they mean essentially nothing at the start. Rarely does anyone start these exams and score well immediately, if that was the case then they wouldn’t even need to practice! These are ‘practice’ tests, meaning you’re practicing to improve your skills. If you continue to work hard and study, read and understand the solutions, practice with “OptometryBoards.com” daily and give it your best effort, we promise your score will improve. Review and learn for now, and the scores will come.

Signs and stages of anesthesia are most likely to be seen with a general anesthetic that has a
All of the following influence the rate of induction during anesthesia EXCEPT:
The rapidity of onset of anesthesia with an inhalation anesthetic agent is primarily related to its
(b) the rule is, the more insoluble the agent is, the faster the onset and offset of effect. That’s why nitrous oxide, which is very insoluble in blood works so fast and leaves the body so quickly once you stop administration.

The behavior of patients under general anesthesia suggests that the most resistant part of the central nervous system is the
General anesthetics can do all of the following EXCEPT:
(b) maybe because it’s the base of the brain? They will eventually depress medullary centers (Stage IV), patient will stop breathing and die. (c),

General anesthesia with halothane is commonly preceded by administration of atropine to
Answer is (c)- this is the classic clinical use of atropine and one you should have committed to memory. Atropine does not induce muscular relaxation- that would be a neuromuscular junction blocker such as curare, thus (b) and (d) are wrong. #!
might confuse you. Atropine is used to override vagal activity, but that is not the reason it is given before halothane.
