Answer to Question 1

A
All antidysrhythmic medications are discontinued several days before the study so that any ventricular dysrhythmias may be readily induced during the electrophysiology procedure (EPS). Anticoagulants, especially warfarin, are also stopped before EPS. Premedication is administered before the study to induce a relaxed state, and during the procedure, the patient is conscious but receives sedative agents (midazolam) at regular intervals.

Answer to Question 2

B
Type 2 diabetes results from a progressive insulin secretory defect in addition to insulin resistance.
