Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The tilt table test is specific for neurally mediated syncope.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Parents and siblings need to be tested for long QT syndrome as soon as possible. It is true the child has driving restrictions until the rhythm is controlled for 6 months, but for a 12-year old, this is not priority information. Sports may be curtailed until the rhythm is controlled, but there is no specific restriction that lasts for 1 year. Heart failure and infection are not related.
