Which of the following is a disadvantage of using morphine as an anesthetic during the surgical process?
  1. It does not produce amnesia.
  2. It may cause nausea and vomiting.
  3. It may lead to hallucinations.
  4. It should not be used in children.
Explanation
Answer: A-A disadvantage of using morphine as an anesthetic during the surgical process is that it does not produce amnesia. The patient needs to receive agents that will not only cause sleep during the procedure but also cause them to forget what occurred. Morphine works as a narcotic but may need to be combined with other agents for full anesthesia.
