Answer to Question 1

4
Adenosine has a short half-life, is given intravenous push, and is used to abruptly stop supraventricular tachycardia. Procainamide is used for tachyarrhythmias and ventricular ectopy. Amiodarone is helpful to treat ventricular fibrillation. Verapamil helps slow the heart rate with atrial fibrillation.

Answer to Question 2

1, 3, 5
The descriptor triad for chronic pain is suffering, sleeplessness, and sadness. Fatigue, apathy, and anger do not describe chronic pain.
