Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Outcomes are best when defibrillation occurs within 3 minutes of chest compressions. Using an AED within 5, 15, or 20 minutes of resuscitation efforts is associated with a diminished chance of survival.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Diuretics should be taken in the morning to prevent nocturia. Anticoagulants, diabetes medications, and stool softeners do not have this effect.
