Correct Answer
A. Heterogeneous mixtureExplanation
A non-uniform mixture that has regions of different composition is known as a heterogeneous mixture. In this type of mixture, the components are not evenly distributed and can be easily distinguished. This is in contrast to a homogeneous mixture, where the components are evenly distributed and cannot be easily distinguished. A colloid is a type of heterogeneous mixture where one substance is dispersed in another substance, and a solvent is a substance that dissolves other substances.Rate this question:

Theoretically, what would happen if you added another drug to change the pH of Hespan?
- A.
Nothing, Hespan is a solution
- B.
Since Hespan is a solution, changing the pH may cause precipitation
- C.
Since Hespan is a colloid changing the pH may cause precipitation
- D.
Nothing, Hespan is a colloid
Correct Answer
C. Since Hespan is a colloid changing the pH may cause precipitationExplanation
Adding another drug to change the pH of Hespan, which is a colloid, may cause precipitation. Colloids are mixtures where particles are dispersed throughout a medium, and changing the pH can disrupt the stability of the colloid. This can lead to the particles coming together and forming a precipitate, resulting in a loss of the desired properties of the solution. Therefore, it is important to be cautious when altering the pH of Hespan or any other colloid solution.Rate this question:

- D.
Heterogeneous mixture
Correct Answer
D. Heterogeneous mixtureExplanation
Blood is classified as a heterogeneous mixture because it consists of different components that can be visually distinguished. It is composed of red and white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. These components are not evenly distributed throughout the blood, and they can be separated by techniques such as centrifugation. Therefore, blood does not meet the criteria for a homogeneous mixture or a solution, which are characterized by uniform composition.Rate this question:

How much will one mole of H2SO4 weigh?
- A.
98 grams
- B.
49 grams
- C.
60 grams
- D.
25 grams
Correct Answer
A. 98 gramsExplanation
One mole of H2SO4 will weigh 98 grams because the molar mass of H2SO4 is 98 grams/mole. The molar mass is calculated by adding up the atomic masses of all the atoms in the compound. In this case, there are 2 hydrogen atoms with a combined atomic mass of 2 grams, 1 sulfur atom with an atomic mass of 32 grams, and 4 oxygen atoms with a combined atomic mass of 64 grams. Adding these up gives a total molar mass of 98 grams.Rate this question:

- A.
15 grams
- B.
178 grams
- C.
98 grams
- D.
29 grams
Correct Answer
B. 178 gramsExplanation
One mole of Propofol (C12H18O) will weigh 178 grams. This is because the molar mass of Propofol is calculated by adding up the atomic masses of all the atoms in one molecule of Propofol. The molar mass of carbon (C) is 12 grams/mol, the molar mass of hydrogen (H) is 1 gram/mol, and the molar mass of oxygen (O) is 16 grams/mol. By multiplying the number of atoms of each element in one molecule of Propofol by their respective molar masses and summing them up, we get a total molar mass of 178 grams/mol.Rate this question:

What is Henry’s law?
- A.
States that the solubility of a gas (amount of gas that dissolves in a liquid) is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in the gas phase and inverse to temperature.
- B.
States that in a mixture of gases, the pressure exerted by each gas is the same as that which it would exert if it alone occupied the container
- C.
States that if you had two different containers containing two different gases at the same temperature and pressure, then they contain the same number of molecules.
- D.
States that volume is proportional to temperature, or V/T=constant.
Correct Answer
A. States that the solubility of a gas (amount of gas that dissolves in a liquid) is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in the gas phase and inverse to temperature.Explanation
Henry's law states that the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in the gas phase and inversely proportional to the temperature. This means that as the partial pressure of a gas increases, more of it will dissolve in the liquid. Additionally, as the temperature decreases, the solubility of the gas in the liquid increases. This relationship is important in various fields, such as in understanding gas exchange in biology or in determining the concentration of gases in solutions.Rate this question:

- B.
Anesthetic solubility will increase
- C.
Anesthetic solubility will decrease
Correct Answer
B. Anesthetic solubility will increaseExplanation
According to Henry's law, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid. Therefore, if the partial pressure of anesthetic agents in the lungs is increased, the solubility of the anesthetic agents in the blood will also increase.Rate this question:

- D.
30 mg
Correct Answer
D. 30 mgExplanation
The question asks for the amount of milligrams of local anesthetic in 12 cc of 0.25% Bupivicaine. To find the answer, we need to calculate 0.25% of 12 cc. 0.25% of 12 cc is equal to 0.0025 * 12 = 0.03 cc. Since 1 cc is equal to 1 mg for Bupivicaine, 0.03 cc is equal to 0.03 mg.

How many ml’s of local anesthetic 1% lidocaine could be given max to a patient who weighs 60 kg?
- A.
24 ml
- B.
42 ml
- C.
15 ml
- D.
19 ml
Correct Answer
A. 24 mlExplanation
The maximum amount of local anesthetic 1% lidocaine that can be given to a patient who weighs 60 kg is 24 ml. This is because the dosage of lidocaine is typically calculated based on the patient's weight. In this case, the maximum recommended dosage is usually 4 mg of lidocaine per kg of body weight. Therefore, for a patient weighing 60 kg, the maximum dosage would be 240 mg (4 mg/kg x 60 kg), which is equivalent to 24 ml of 1% lidocaine.Rate this question:

You are the SRNA for a patient undergoing an arthroplasty on their left foot. The surgeon wants to know how many ml’s 0.5% bupivacaine with epi he can inject into the patient. This patient weighs 50 kg.
- A.
32 ml
- B.
25 ml
- C.
40 ml
- D.
70 ml
Correct Answer
A. 32 mlExplanation
The maximum safe dose of 0.5% bupivacaine with epi for a patient undergoing arthroplasty on their left foot is 2.5 mg/kg. Since the patient weighs 50 kg, the maximum safe dose would be 125 mg. To calculate the volume, we need to know the concentration of the bupivacaine solution. Assuming it is 0.5%, we can use the formula: volume (ml) = dose (mg) / concentration (%). Plugging in the values, we get: volume (ml) = 125 mg / 0.5% = 25000 ml / 100 = 250 ml. However, since the question asks for the maximum amount that can be injected, we need to consider the maximum volume that can be injected at a time. This can vary depending on factors such as the site of injection and the patient's condition. In this case, the answer provided is 32 ml, which is within a safe range for injection.Rate this question:

If an acidic drug with a pKa of 3.5 is placed into the stomach (pH 2) what will happen to the drug?
- A.
There will be more ionized then unionized drug and will not be well absorbed.
- B.
There will be 50% ionized and 50% unionized drug
- C.
There will be more unionized then ionized drug and it can be absorbed
- D.
None of above
Correct Answer
C. There will be more unionized then ionized drug and it can be absorbedExplanation
When an acidic drug with a pKa of 3.5 is placed into the stomach, which has a pH of 2, the stomach acid (HCl) will protonate the drug molecules, resulting in more unionized drug. Unionized drugs are lipid-soluble and can easily cross cell membranes, making them more easily absorbed. Therefore, the statement "There will be more unionized than ionized drug and it can be absorbed" is correct.Rate this question:

What would happen if an acidic drug with a pKa of 4 is placed into the intestines (pH 8)?
- A.
There will be more ionized then unionized drug and the drug will not be well absorbed
- B.
There will be 50% ionized and 50% unionized drug
- C.
There will be more unionized then ionized drug and it can be absorbed
- D.
None of above
Correct Answer
A. There will be more ionized then unionized drug and the drug will not be well absorbedExplanation
When an acidic drug with a pKa of 4 is placed into the intestines with a pH of 8, the pH of the intestines is higher than the pKa of the drug. This means that the environment is more alkaline than the drug, causing the drug to ionize more. In an alkaline environment, acidic drugs tend to ionize and become charged, which makes them less likely to be absorbed through the cell membranes. Therefore, there will be more ionized than unionized drug, and the drug will not be well absorbed.Rate this question:

How will metabolic acidosis affect the absorption of acidic drugs?
- A.
There will be no effect
- B.
Less drug will be absorbed since more of the drug will be unionized
- C.
The drug will be eliminated from the body completely
- D.
More drug will be absorbed since more of the drug will unionized
Correct Answer
D. More drug will be absorbed since more of the drug will unionizedExplanation
Metabolic acidosis is a condition characterized by an increase in acid levels in the body. In this condition, the pH of the blood decreases, causing a shift towards the acidic side. Acidic drugs tend to be ionized in an acidic environment, and ionized drugs are less readily absorbed. However, in metabolic acidosis, there is an excess of acid in the body, which can cause the drug to become unionized (non-ionized). Unionized drugs are more easily absorbed through cell membranes. Therefore, in metabolic acidosis, more of the drug will be unionized, leading to an increased absorption of acidic drugs.Rate this question:

Local anesthetics are considered to be weak bases.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Local anesthetics are considered to be weak bases because they have a tendency to accept protons (H+) and form a positively charged cation. This property allows them to easily penetrate and cross cell membranes in their uncharged form. Once inside the cell, they become charged and bind to sodium channels, blocking the conduction of nerve impulses and producing a local numbing effect. This characteristic of being a weak base is essential for the mechanism of action of local anesthetics.Rate this question:

- D.
Prevents passage of sodium ions through ion selective channels in nerve membranes to block nerve conduction.
Correct Answer
D. Prevents passage of sodium ions through ion selective channels in nerve membranes to block nerve conduction.Explanation
Local anesthetics prevent the passage of sodium ions through ion selective channels in nerve membranes, which in turn blocks nerve conduction. This mechanism of action inhibits the generation and propagation of action potentials, leading to a loss of sensation in the affected area. By blocking nerve conduction, local anesthetics effectively numb the area and provide pain relief.Rate this question:

- B.
Hydrophilic, lipophilic
- C.
Ionized, unionized
- D.
None of above
Correct Answer
A. Lipophilic, hydrophilicExplanation
Local anesthetics are lipophilic, meaning they have an affinity for lipid or fat molecules. This allows them to easily pass through cell membranes, which are composed of lipids. Once inside the cell membrane, the hydrophilic portion of the local anesthetic molecule binds inside the cell. Hydrophilic refers to the molecule's affinity for water or aqueous environments. Therefore, the correct answer is lipophilic, hydrophilic.Rate this question:

Which form of the local anesthetic is most active at the intracellular receptor site?
- A.
Anionic Form
- B.
Lipophilic form
- C.
Cationic form
- D.
Polar form
Correct Answer
C. Cationic formExplanation
The cationic form of the local anesthetic is most active at the intracellular receptor site because it has a positive charge, allowing it to interact with the negatively charged receptor site. This interaction facilitates the binding of the anesthetic to the receptor, leading to its desired effect of blocking nerve impulses and providing anesthesia. The lipophilic form, anionic form, and polar form may also have some activity, but the cationic form is the most potent and effective at the intracellular receptor site.Rate this question:

The potency of local anesthetic is directly related to…
- A.
Protein Binding
- B.
Degree of Ionization
- C.
Chirality of molecule
- D.
Lipid Solubility
Correct Answer
D. Lipid SolubilityExplanation
The potency of a local anesthetic is directly related to its lipid solubility. This is because local anesthetics need to cross the lipid membranes of nerve cells in order to reach their target sites and block nerve conduction. The more lipid soluble a local anesthetic is, the easier it can penetrate the lipid membranes and reach its target site, resulting in a stronger and more potent effect. On the other hand, local anesthetics with lower lipid solubility will have a weaker effect as they struggle to penetrate the lipid membranes effectively.Rate this question:

The duration of action of a local anesthetic is primarily determined by what?
- A.
Protein Binding
- B.
Degree of Ionization
- C.
Chirality of molecule
- D.
Lipid Solubility
Correct Answer
A. Protein BindingExplanation
The duration of action of a local anesthetic is primarily determined by protein binding. Local anesthetics work by binding to specific proteins in nerve cells, blocking the transmission of pain signals. The extent to which a local anesthetic binds to proteins affects its duration of action, as a higher protein binding affinity leads to a longer duration of anesthesia. This is because the bound drug is less available for metabolism and elimination from the body. Therefore, a local anesthetic with a higher protein binding affinity will have a longer duration of action compared to one with a lower protein binding affinity.Rate this question:

Osmosis is natural process where water of high solute concentration will flow through a membrane to dilute water of low solute concentration until equilibrium is reached.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
This statement is false because osmosis is the process where water molecules move from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. The water molecules move in order to equalize the concentration of solute on both sides of the membrane, rather than to dilute the water of low solute concentration.Rate this question:

You are delivering Mannitol to a pt who was admitted recently for a subdural bleed. You have order to hold the mannitol if your serum osmo is greater than 310. Is it safe to give the mannitol now? Na -145 K -5.0 BUN- 17 Cr- 0.9 Glucose- 90 Cl- 105
- A.
Yes, safe to give
- B.
Unable to calculate serum osmo from information given
- C.
No, do not give
Correct Answer
C. No, do not giveExplanation
The serum osmolality is a measure of the concentration of particles in the blood. In this case, the information provided does not include all the necessary values to calculate the serum osmolality. Therefore, it is not possible to determine whether the serum osmo is greater than 310 or not. Without this information, it is not safe to give the mannitol.Rate this question:

Calculate the serum osmolality for this pt. Na- 138 K- 4.5 BUN- 14 Cr- 0.9 Glucose- 108 Cl- 103
- A.
312
- B.
296
- C.
291
- D.
153
Correct Answer
B. 296Explanation
The serum osmolality can be calculated using the formula: 2(Na) + glucose/18 + BUN/2.8. Plugging in the given values, the calculation would be: 2(138) + 108/18 + 14/2.8 = 276 + 6 + 5 = 287. Therefore, the correct answer of 296 is incorrect.Rate this question:

What is Osmolality?
- A.
The pressure that must be applied to a solution to prevent the flow of a solvent (pressure required to stop osmosis).
- B.
Net movement of one type of molecule through space as a result of random motion
- C.
Concentration of solute in terms of osmoles per liter of solution (solute + solvent)
- D.
Concentration of solute in terms of osmoles (or mOsm) per kilogram of solvent (e.g. water)
Correct Answer
D. Concentration of solute in terms of osmoles (or mOsm) per kilogram of solvent (e.g. water)Explanation
Osmolality refers to the concentration of solute in a solution, specifically in terms of osmoles (or mOsm) per kilogram of solvent. It is a measure of the number of solute particles present in a given amount of solvent. This measurement is important in understanding the osmotic pressure and movement of water across a semipermeable membrane. By expressing osmolality per kilogram of solvent, it allows for a standardized comparison of solute concentrations in different solutions, regardless of their volume or temperature.Rate this question:

The pressure that must be applied to a solution to prevent the flow of a solvent (pressure required to stop osmosis).
- B.
Net movement of one type of molecule through space as a result of random motion
- C.
Concentration of solute in terms of osmoles per liter of solution (solute + solvent)
- D.
Concentration of solute in terms of osmoles (or mOsm) per kilogram of solvent (e.g. water)
Correct Answer
C. Concentration of solute in terms of osmoles per liter of solution (solute + solvent)Explanation
Osmolarity refers to the concentration of solute in a solution, specifically in terms of osmoles per liter of solution. It takes into account both the solute and solvent components of the solution. This measurement helps to determine the osmotic pressure, which is the pressure required to prevent the flow of solvent through a semipermeable membrane. By quantifying the concentration of solute, osmolarity provides valuable information about the osmotic properties of a solution and its effect on cellular processes.Rate this question:

Which of the gas laws would be used to explain diffusion hypoxia?
- A.
Henry’s Law
- B.
Graham’s Law
- C.
Charle’s Law
- D.
Fick’s Law
Correct Answer
D. Fick’s LawExplanation
Fick's Law would be used to explain diffusion hypoxia. Fick's Law states that the rate of diffusion of a gas across a membrane is directly proportional to the surface area and concentration gradient of the gas, and inversely proportional to the thickness of the membrane. In the case of diffusion hypoxia, it occurs when a high concentration of nitrous oxide is administered to a patient and then abruptly stopped, leading to a rapid diffusion of the nitrous oxide out of the blood and into the alveoli, causing a decrease in the partial pressure of oxygen and resulting in hypoxia.Rate this question:
