question 154 1 pts
during a routine ovariohysterectomy, the most painful manipulation will occur during ____, and the veterinary technician must be mindful of the anesthetic plane at this point in the surgery.
○ tearing of the suspensory ligament.
○ exteriorization of the uterus.
○ incision of the uterine body.
○ closure of the linea alba.

Explanation:

In a routine ovariohysterectomy, tearing of the suspensory ligament is a highly - sensitive manipulation that can cause significant pain to the animal, so the veterinary technician must closely monitor the anesthetic plane. Exteriorization of the uterus, incision of the uterine body, and closure of the linea alba are also important steps but generally not as acutely painful as tearing the suspensory ligament.

Answer:

tearing of the suspensory ligament.
