Answer to Question 1

D
When preparing to administer a liquid medication, hold bottle at eye level, and pour to desired level using base of the meniscus as the scale to ensure accuracy of the dose. Place cap upside down on a stable surface to prevent transfer of microorganisms.

Answer to Question 2

A
Atrial dysrhythmias are usually not life-threatening and include premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), premature atrial contractions (PACs), atrial tachycardia, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT), atrial flutter, and atrial fibrillation. Common causes for these conditions include myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, electrolyte imbalances, emotional stress, and medications; they are usually treated with digitalis preparations.
