The first statement is true, as it is important to administer the appropriate volume of anesthetic for the area being treated. However, the second statement is false, as the clinician should not administer more anesthetic just because one quadrant has been completed. The amount of anesthetic given should be based on the needs of the specific area being treated, not the amount of time that has passed.
