Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Lidocaine drips are indicated for the treatment of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias such as long or frequent runs of PVCs. Lidocaine would not be indicated for the treatment of hypoxia, hypertension, or increased ICP.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Arrange for baseline and periodic ultrasound evaluation of the gallbladder for patients receiving octreotide because common adverse effects of the drug are acute cholecystitis, cholestatic jaundice, biliary tract obstruction, and pancreatitis. A patient taking octreotide does not need baseline and periodic MRIs of the brain, serum glucose levels, or complete blood counts.
