Preoperative Phase = Begins when patient and surgeon mutually decide surgery is necessary, Ends when patient is transferred to OR or procedural bed Intraoperative Phase = Begins when patient is transferred to the OR bed, Ends when patient is transferred to postanesthesia care unit (PACU) Postoperative Phase = Begins when patient admitted to PACU, Ends when patient completely recovers from surgery and last follow-up appointment
Match the following surgery phases with their corresponding patient transfer points:
Preoperative Phase = Patient is transferred to OR or procedural bed Intraoperative Phase = Patient is transferred to the OR bed Postoperative Phase = Patient is transferred to postanesthesia care unit (PACU)
Match the following surgery phases with their correct start and end points in relation to patient transfer:
Preoperative Phase = Begins when patient is transferred to OR or procedural bed, Ends when patient is transferred to the OR bed Intraoperative Phase = Begins when patient is transferred to the OR bed, Ends when patient is admitted to PACU Postoperative Phase = Begins when patient is admitted to PACU, Ends when patient completely recovers from surgery and last follow-up appointment
Match the following factors with their corresponding healthcare facilities:
Seriousness = Ambulatory care centers Urgency = Hospital Purpose = Ablative, Constructive/Cosmetic, Diagnostic, Palliative, Reconstructive, Transplant Patient Conditions = Hospital
Surgery Classification
Seriousness- = ambulatory care centers for less serious patients; for patients with few medical conditions Urgency- = hospital because it’s an emergency! Purpose- = ablative, constructive/cosmetic, diagnostic, palliative, reconstructive, transplant
Ambulatory care centers are for patients with few medical conditions.
True
Hospital is the best place to go for less serious patients.
False
There are six purposes of surgery: ablative, constructive/cosmetic, diagnostic, palliative, reconstructive, and transplant.
True

Match the following medical terms with their correct definitions:
Advance Directives/living will = DNR suspended during surgery until 24hrs post-anesthesia end time Medical Power of Attorney = only if declared incompetent
Match the following legal terms with their related conditions:
DNR = Suspended during surgery Incompetent = Medical Power of Attorney can be used
Match the following medical conditions with the appropriate legal actions:
Surgery = DNR is suspended until 24hrs post-anesthesia end time Declared incompetent = Medical Power of Attorney can be used

“A” medications: Antibiotics, Antidysrhythmics, Anticoagulants, Anticonvulsants, Antihypertensives (especially beta blockers)
Match the following medications with their corresponding considerations:
Corticosteroids = Immunocompromised Insulin = Need to know blood glucose baseline, HgA1C Diuretics = Fluid and electrolyte balance NSAIDs = Bleeding
Match the following drugs with their associated patient conditions:
Corticosteroids = Immunocompromised patients Insulin = Patients with diabetes Diuretics = Patients with fluid and electrolyte imbalances NSAIDs = Patients at risk of bleeding
Match the following medications with their specific patient monitoring requirements:
Corticosteroids = Immunocompromised patients Insulin = Baseline blood glucose, HgA1C levels Diuretics = Fluid and electrolyte balance NSAIDs = Bleeding risk
Match the following types of anesthesia with their correct descriptions:
General (systemic) = Administration of drugs by inhalation or intravenous route Moderate sedation/analgesia = Used for short-term, minimally invasive procedures Regional = Anesthetic agent injected near a nerve or nerve pathway or around operative site Topical and local anesthesia = Used on mucous membranes, open skin, wounds, burns
Match the following anesthesia methods with their appropriate applications:
Inhalation or intravenous route = General (systemic) anesthesia Short-term, minimally invasive procedures = Moderate sedation/analgesia Near a nerve or nerve pathway or around operative site = Regional anesthesia Mucous membranes, open skin, wounds, burns = Topical and local anesthesia
Match the following anesthesia techniques with their correct uses:
Intravenous administration = General (systemic) anesthesia Minimally invasive procedures = Moderate sedation/analgesia Injection near a nerve or nerve pathway = Regional anesthesia Application on mucous membranes or open skin = Topical and local anesthesia
