Which statement correctly describes Stage I anesthesia?

Stage I anesthesia is the analgesia and amnesia phase that begins as the anesthetic is started. In this stage the patient is relaxed and can respond to commands, but pain perception is diminished and memory of the procedure is impaired. They remain conscious and oriented, not yet unconscious. This distinguishes it from delirium and agitation seen in the next stage (Stage II), from the deeper unconsciousness of surgical anesthesia (Stage III), and from the dangerous depression seen with overdose (Stage IV). So the statement that best describes Stage I is Amnesia/Analgesia.
