Answer to Question 1

Answer:2
Rationale: The lab test for antistreptococcal antibodies is an antistreptolysin-O (ASLO) titer. An erythrocyte sedimentation rate and a C-reactive protein can indicate inflammation. A culture can indicate a current streptocococcal infection.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:2,3,4
Rationale:Supraventricular tachycardia episodes are initially treated with vagal maneuvers to slow the heart rate when the infant is stable.In stable infants the application of ice or iced saline solution to the face may reduce the heart rate. Adenosine or amiodarone may be given when the vagal maneuvers are unsuccessful.Cardio version is used in an urgent situation.
