Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Another sampling site, such as the brachial artery, should be chosen if the result of a modified Allen test is negative.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A ventricular rate of ninety beats a minute is within normal limits. A premature ventricular beat during the T wave would be immediately after the relative refractory period and could lead to ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation. Saw toothed waves instead of P waves indicate that atrial flutter is present. An increased width of the QRS is associated with any ventricular arrhythmia.
