Answer 1

The anesthetic care of pediatric patients must always use approved monitoring practices and encompasses a continuum of sedation levels; not all providers are required to have a specialized fellowship.

Step-by-step explanation:

Regarding the anesthetic care of pediatric patients, it is true that all anesthetic care of children must use approved monitoring practices throughout the hospital. General anesthetics, which involve a state of general anesthesia, can be administered through various modes, including inhalation or injection.

Pediatric anesthetic care encompasses a continuum of mild, moderate, to deep sedation and not all pediatric anesthesia providers are required to have completed a pediatric anesthesiology fellowship although specialized training is very common in this field.
