Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conscious sedation is a type of anesthesia that allows the patient to remain relaxed and conscious but less anxious, less aware of their surroundings and emotionally comfortable. Clients undergoing conscious sedation can respond verbally despite physical immobility, but they may not remember the experience afterward. While clients can be monitored by equipment, they may not necessarily tolerate long therapeutic surgical procedures under conscious sedation.
