A concentration of 25% nitrous oxide (75% oxygen) corresponds to which level of sedation?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Minimal sedation
Nitrous oxide used within standard, titrated concentration ranges (commonly cited around 20-50% N2O) is classified as minimal sedation — the patient remains fully conscious, responsive, and able to maintain their own airway and protective reflexes throughout the procedure.
