Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Many people do not know how to evaluate the drug-related information that they can access over the Internet. Is it accurate or anecdotal is an important concept for the nurse to teach the patient to assess to verify the accuracy of the information. Where the information came from is unimportant. It would be expected that all drug advertising is paid for by the drug company and this is not an important concern. Number of patients with input into the information is most likely none because information is gathered from health care professionals.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The CAST study, a large research study run by the National Heart and Lung Institute, found that long-term treatment of arrhythmias may have an uncertain effect on mortality, and in some cases may actually lead to increased cardiac death, which is the basis for the current indication for antiarrhythmics to be used only short-term to treat life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias.
