Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
When given, IV pyridostigmine should be administered undiluted at a rate of 0.5 mg/min and should not be added to IV fluids. It is not necessary to administer atropine, since the patient is not symptomatic of cholinergic crisis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Laboratory tests that may suggest MS include CSF IgG and MRI.
