Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Coronary artery disease is a contraindication to the use of oral contraceptives. Diabetes and asthma do not necessarily contraindicate this treatment. A family history of breast cancer is relevant but would not absolutely contraindicate oral contraceptive use.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Low-dose amiodarone may be a pharmacologic choice for preventing recurrent atrial fibrillation after electrical or pharmacologic conversion. Potassium channel blockers are not used to prevent valvular disorders, ventricular hypertrophy, or angina.
