Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Anakinra is administered subcutaneously every day and is often used in combination with other antiarthritis drugs. No other route is appropriate.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Disruptions in the normal rhythm of the heart can interfere with myocardial contractions and affect the cardiac output, the amount of blood pumped with each beat. Arrhythmias that seriously disrupt cardiac output can be fatal. Therefore, the primary goal of treating a cardiac arrhythmia is to maintain adequate cardiac output to support life. The other goals may be important to individual patient care, but sustaining life takes priority.
