      0.75

    Correct Answer
    C. 1.5
    Explanation
    MAC decreases by 6% each decade after 40. 24% decrease in MAC = MAC 1.5 in an 80 year old.

    An alteration seen in the elderly includes

    • A.

      Increased lean body mass

    • B.

      Increased total body fat

    • C.

      An increase in the basal metabolic rate

    • D.

      Higher incidences of shivering

    Correct Answer
    B. Increased total body fat
  • 3. 

    There is decreased total body water content in the elderly population.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Less lean body mass (muscle) and more adipose tissue results in a decrease in total body water. Watch for hypotension in this population, especially with induction meds and position changes.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    Thermoregulation is controlled in the HYPOTHALAMUS.

  • 5. 

    The hypothermic patient is more likely to clot due to increased coagulation activity.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    More likely to bleed due to coagulation dysfunction.

    • A.

      Decreases, 50

    • B.

      Increases, 50

    • C.

      Decreases, 40

    Syndrome X , or "metabolic syndrome" must include three of which of the following FIVE indicators:

    • A.

      Large waist circumference

    • B.

      High triglyceride levels

    • C.

      Low HDL

    • D.

      High HDL

    • E.

      Glucose intolerance

    • F.

      HTN

    • G.

      Insulin requirements

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Large waist circumference
    B. High triglyceride levels
    C. Low HDL
    E. Glucose intolerance
    F. HTN
    Explanation
    Metabolic syndrome = large waist circumference (apple-shaped or male-central obesity), high triglycerides, low HDL (high-density lipoproteins), glucose intolerance, and hypertension. There is a higher risk of acquiring type II DM with metabolic syndrome/syndrome X.

    A complication of laparoscopy can include venous air embolism.  Treatment includes: 

    • A.

      Releasing pneumoperitoneum

    • B.

      Placing in right lateral decubitus

    • C.

      100% O2 administration

    • D.

      CVC placement to extract air/CO2

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Releasing pneumoperitoneum
    C. 100% O2 administration
    D. CVC placement to extract air/CO2
    Explanation
    The patient is placed in the left lateral decubitus in Trendelenburg to trap the air embolus and prevent its migration into the PA.

    Tight fluid management is necessary in robotic cases to prevent:

    • A.

      Hyperthermia

    • B.

      Blindness

    • C.

      Airway edema

    Correct Answer(s)
    B. Blindness
    C. Airway edema
