Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The patient may not be able to eat anything at times but may find holding ice chips in the mouth to be helpful.

ANS: B
Irregular heart action occurs when the cells in the heart's conduction system do not have enough oxygen, when they are destroyed or damaged through disease, or when electrolytes are not present in the right balance.
