This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
which one please

1-bupiivacain

2-mepivacin

3-etidocain

4-ropivacin

5-xylocain

thank in advance


define "most safe". What aspect of safety are you looking for? Least likely to kill the patient? Least likely to have any adverse reaction? Least likely to cause permanent neurologic injury?
 
Is this a nursing school DNP on-line test? If so, the best answer is dibucaine, but since it is not a choice, etidocaine is the best answer. Good luck and I hope you get a 100%.

You didn't put cocain in your poll.

cocain had many side effects it causes nausea, vomiting, stomach pain and difficulty passing urine or urinary incontinence & other bad effects

In that case, I would probably choose bupivacaine. Lidocaine (xylocaine) is fine too but can be associated with transient radicular irritation and has fallen out of favor. The rest are not typically used for spinals (in the US anyway).
I was kidding about dibucaine.
The question is worded a bit strange and should probably be more specific.
 
This has got to be a nursing question. Nurses use a come one come all approach to medicine. Doctors will tailor the anesthetic to the pt and the surgery being performed. Therefore, there is no "best" agent.
 
I think it might be none. I am not sure about that one. None is my final answer though.

none is correct. morphine, tizanidine, baclofen are the only ones approved. doesnt mean anything, just funny when you consider almost every cesarean section done today is essentially done off-label
