Answer to Question 1

D
Ventricular dysrhythmias are life-threatening and include premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), ventricular tachycardia (VT), ventricular fibrillation (VF), and ventricular asystole. PVCs are most commonly associated with coronary artery disease and are treated with medications, such as lidocaine hydrochloride and oxygen.

Answer to Question 2

D
Normal fetal heart rate is 110 to 160 bpm: above 160 bpm is tachycardia, below 110 bpm is bradycardia.
