Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3
Sustained ventricular tachycardia is a medical emergency that requires immediate intervention, particularly in patients with cardiac disease. Treatment for ventricular tachycardia includes cardioversion. Class III antidysrhythmic medications (potassium channel blockers) are typically administered. Observation prior to calling a physician is not an appropriate action when a potentially life-threatening rhythm is identified. Defibrillation is only conducted in ventricular tachycardia when the patient is pulseless; otherwise, time is taken to synchronize for cardioversion.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Trans fatty acids behave like saturated fats and are found in solid vegetable fats (margarine, shortening) and stick butter. Therefore, the use of soft margarines and vegetable spreads is recommended for managing CHD. Other dietary recommendations include increasing soluble and insoluble fiber in the diet. High proportions of saturated fats are found in coconut oil, whole-milk products, and red meats.
