Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Adenosine is a naturally occurring chemical found in every cell within the body. Adenosine is not synthesized from petroleum products, is not created through recombinant DNA, and is not extracted from plants.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Amiodarone is contraindicated for patients with severe sinus node dysfunction that causes sinus bradycardia, with second and third degree AV block, and when episodes of bradycardia have caused syncope (except in the presence of a pacemaker). Pulmonary edema is not a contraindication for amiodarone. Atrial fibrillation is an indication for the use of amiodarone. Premature ventricular contractions are not a contraindication for amiodarone, but the medication is not indicated for the treatment of PVCs.
