Answer to Question 1

a

Answer to Question 2

D
Virtually all of the drugs used to treat dysrhythmias can worsen existing dysrhythmias and gen-erate new ones, therefore these patients must be carefully monitored.
Using either low or high doses of these drugs can trigger lethal dysrhythmias. The point is that antidysrhythmic drugs are risky and have adverse effects.
All nurses know that some patients may have an allergic response to any drug that is adminis-tered.
