Answer to Question 1

A
Explanation: Cardiac arrest is the complete stopping of heart activity. Fibrillation is an extremely serious arrhythmia. A bundle branch block is where the electrical impulse is blocked from traveling down the atrioventricular bundle or bundle branches, causing the ventricles to beat at a different rate from the atria. Angina pectoris is chest pain.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
Explanation: The prefix post- means to follow after. We know tests are completed after instruction on content, so a posttest would be completed after or at the end of a course or content unit.
