In the given sentence, the conjunction is "and" as it connects two independent clauses: "General endotracheal anesthesia was induced" and "the patient was prepped and draped."
The preposition in the sentence is "was prepped," which is part of the passive verb phrase "was prepped and draped."
In the given sentence, "and" is a conjunction and "the" is a preposition.
Conjunctions are words that connect words, phrases, or clauses. In this case, "and" is connecting two clauses: "General endotracheal anesthesia was induced" and "the patient was prepped and draped." It shows that both actions occurred in sequence.
Prepositions, on the other hand, show the relationship between a noun (or pronoun) and another word in the sentence. "The" in this sentence is used as part of the phrase "prepped and draped," which functions as an adjectival phrase describing the patient. "Prepped" and "draped" are both past participles used as adjectives modifying "patient," and "the" is used as the preposition that connects them.
