Answer to Question 1

C
When a patient is prescribed propafenone, the nurse should always check whether the patient has a history of bronchospasm. This drug blocks beta-adrenergic activity and can cause bronchos-pasm.

Answer to Question 2

42 gtt per minute
1000 mL in 6 hours = 167 mL per hr (1000  6 = 166.6 mL, round up to 167). 2.8 mL per min (167 mL  60 min = 2.78 mL, round up to 2.8 mL per min); 42 gtt per min (2.8 mL  drop factor of 15 = 42 gtt per min)
