Anaesthesia · Post-anesthesia care
Sample itemWhat should be reassessed repeatedly in recovery?
Original practice item, not a recalled exam question. Nothing here is recorded.
The answer and the reasoning
D. Airway, breathing, circulation, and consciousness
The decisive Post-anesthesia care principle supports Airway, breathing, circulation, and consciousness; it most directly explains the clinical description, safety priority, or appropriate intervention in the stem.
Option by option
A. Hearing aid battery only
Hearing aid battery only is inconsistent with the diagnosis, mechanism, or priority described.
B. Dental shade only
Dental shade only may have another role but is not the best answer in this scenario.
C. Hair color only
Hair color only does not match the stated post-anesthesia care feature.
D. Airway, breathing, circulation, and consciousness (correct)
Correct. Airway, breathing, circulation, and consciousness is supported by the central clue given.
