Q1 Which of the
following statements regarding the use of the abbreviation 'VAS' in medical
literature is correct, based on the research by Sharma et al. and related
findings?
- VAS
is exclusively used for the Visual Analogue Scale, which measures pain on a
10-cm line from 'no pain' to 'worst imaginable pain.'
- VAS
includes the Visual Analogue Scale, Numeric Rating Scale, and Verbal
Rating Scale as described by Sharma et al.
- The
abbreviation 'VAS' has been standardized across all medical literature
with a single meaning.
- The
Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) uses adjectives to define the intensity of
pain.
Correct Option:
- VAS
includes the Visual Analogue Scale, Numeric Rating Scale, and Verbal
Rating Scale as described by Sharma et al.

Q2 In the management of a 1-year-old child with a foreign
body (FB) aspiration, which of the following statements is true regarding the
use of an ultrasound-guided bilateral internal laryngeal nerve (iSLN) block?
- The
iSLN block is typically used for treating spasms and airway edema by
blocking the recurrent laryngeal nerve.
- The
iSLN block provides sensory blockade of the laryngeal mucosa above the
vocal cords.
- The
iSLN block is administered using an in-plane ultrasound-guided technique
through the cricothyroid membrane.
- The
iSLN block is primarily used to treat postoperative nausea and vomiting in
pediatric patients.
Correct Option:
- The
iSLN block provides sensory blockade of the laryngeal mucosa above the
vocal cords.

psychological safety.
- Designing
diverse and realistic patient encounters for scenario creation.
- Providing
real-time lifelike interactions as virtual patients during simulations.
- Replacing
human instructors in conducting entire simulation sessions independently.
