Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common cardiac dysrhythmias. Following cardiac surgery, about 30 of patients will convert to this rhythm. Patients with AF are at very high risk of stroke caused by an embolus, congested heart failure, cardiomyopathy, and death.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: F
To prevent needless thoracotomy, mediastinoscopy is performed for direct visualization of the bronchus and carina.
