Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

C
Phenytoin (Dilantin) is used to treat digoxin-induced dysrhythmias, because it reduces automa-ticity, especially in the ventricles, and increases AV node conduction.
Quinidine, bretylium, and diltiazem are not indicated for digoxin-induced dysrhythmias.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
