What is the target analgesia stage for nitrous?

Drift
Deep Sedation
Minimal Sedation
Conscious Sedation

The correct answer is: Drift

The target analgesia stage for nitrous is Drift. Nitrous is commonly used for analgesia and is classified as a minimal sedation technique. It produces a feeling of light-headedness and euphoria, and while the patient may experience a feeling of lightheadedness and dizziness, they should remain conscious and able to respond to verbal commands during this stage. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they suggest deeper levels of sedation or unconsciousness, which are not the intended effects of nitrous.
