Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Elevated potassium levels irritate cardiac cells and increase the likelihood of a cardiac arrhythmia. Tachycardia, sudden death, and bradycardia would be the result of an arrhythmia if they were to occur.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Propantheline is contraindicated for a patient with glaucoma because the drug could result in increased intraocular pressure due to pupil dilation. Diabetes mellitus, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and insomnia are not recognized as being adversely affected by this drug.
