Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: Verapamil is a calcium channel blocker that is often used to treat angina by dilating coronary arteries.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: Adenosine is the drug of choice for PSVT. Procainamide may be used for supraventricular dysrhythmias, but is not the primary drug for PSVT. Lidocaine and flecainide are indicated for ventricular dysrhythmias.
