[2025-10-01T00:13:27.351186] [PI reasoning] **Clarifying sedation terms**

I need to clarify the multiple-choice question regarding sedation levels. Anxiolysis corresponds to minimal sedation, where there's a normal response to verbal commands. The options include different sedation levels like moderate and deep sedation. Based on this, it seems the answer is C. Now, I should provide citations, possibly from the ASA guidelines on sedation from 2018, to back up the answer. Let’s ensure we have that evidence ready!
