Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Atropine is used for symptomatic bradycardia in a dose of 0.01-0.05 mg/kg, IV. This is the correct drug and dose. Norepinephrine is used to produce vasoconstriction at a dose of 0.1-1 g/kg/minute, by IV infusion.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
A cardiac output of 3 L/minute is low, indicating such conditions as heart failure, hypovolemia, or increased systemic vascular resistance. A weak, thready pulse would be consistent with this reading. Capillary refill of 2 seconds is normal. An increased temperature would not be related. A urine output of 3 mL/kg/hour is more than sufficient and does not indicate low cardiac output.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
