Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: Milrinone is a phosphodiesterase inhibitor that can cause ventricular dysrhythmias. Atrial dysrhythmias can occur, but ventricular dysrhythmias are more serious. Headache and nausea also can occur, but are not as serious as ventricular dysrhythmias.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: An apical pulse should be checked for one full minute prior to administering digoxin. If the heart rate is low (generally 60 bpm), the medication should be held and the ordering practitioner informed. Digoxin can suppress electrical activity within the heart and lower heart rate.
