| When nitrogen waste products, such as creatinine and urea, build up in the body, the condition is called azotemia | True |
| If an abdominocentesis is performed, the PCV of the fluid when compared to the systemic PCV will be if hemorrhage into the abdominal cavity is actively occurring | Equal to systemic PCV |
| According to standard of care, it is acceptable practice to perform surgery without an IV catheter in place | False |
| Swelling secondary to surgical trauma will usually resolve within to after surgery | 3 to 7 days |
| Seromas are not typically drained because | Of the increased chance of infection |
| To help offset hypothermia during the intraoperative and postoperative periods, all the following are recommended except | Heat lamps |
| Accumulation of serum under a surgical incision may last for weeks and is called a | Seroma |
| Which of the following is not one of the common criteria used to determine if monitoring of the patient in the postoperative period is no longer necessary | The patient can eat and swallow its food |
| Managing pain will also decrease the amount of additional drugs (induction and maintenance) needed for the patient and ease the transition through the anesthetic planes | True |
| Veterinary technicians should advise clients that animals undergoing routine sterilization or simple mass removal usually require of restricted activity, whereas animals undergoing orthopedic surgery will likely require 6 to 8 weeks of confi | 10 - 14 days |
| It is below the standard of care to perform surgery without doing preoperative bloodwork | True |
| Which reason is incorrect regarding why prophylactic antibiotics are used prior to a surgery | To minimize the amount of disinfection required to prepare for surgery |

| 25% - 45% of the normal cat's blood will be red blood cells. If the PCV is below 25%, the cat is anemic | True |
| Animals being prepared for an exploratory celiotomy should always be clipped widely because | The incision may have to be extended |
| Choose the valid questions, besides signalment, to ask an owner checking in their animal for surgery | Allergies or drug reactions?, Previous or ongoing illnesses, Fasted properly |

| At what HR would you be concerned with a cat under anesthesia | Under 100 bpm |
| Infection along tissue planes that can arise postoperatively is called | Cellulitis |
| The respiratory rate in the dog is generally higher than the cat | False |
| Therapeutic drug levels must be present in the wound fluid (serum and interstitial tissues) at the time of surgical incision, or the antibiotics will be ineffective. They should be given at least _______ minutes before the surgical incision is made | 20 |
| If the surgical candidate has dehydration, anemia, respiratory distress, shock, or hypothermia it is most likely better to delay anesthesia to allow for correction of the problem | True |
| The three plasma proteins are albumin, globulins, and hemoglobin | False |
| (PCV) or hematocrit (HCT) range in the dog is 35% to 55%. If the PCV is below 35%, the dog is generally considered anemic | True |
| What is the best normal temperature range for a dog | 99.5 - 102.5F |
| When should a surgical patient be administered pain-relief medication | Prior to any potential pain occurring |
| Potential problems that could arise during anesthesia and surgery that a veterinary technician should always be on the lookout for include | All are correct |
