Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
With compensated supraventricular tachycardia, vagal maneuvers are attempted first and then adenosine is used if vagal maneuvers fail. Adenosine or synchronized cardioversion is used to treat uncompensated SVT; synchronized cardioversion and IV amiodarone are used to treat ventricular tachycardia.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Atropine is used to decrease respiratory secretions and mitigate the vagal effects of intubation. Thiopental reduces intracranial pressure and oxygen demand. Midazolam causes amnesia. Rocuronium or other neuromuscular blocking agents provide short-term paralysis during intubation.
