Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Injectable vitamin K is used to reverse the effects of warfarin. Protamine sulfate is used to reverse the effects of heparin. Vitamin E reduces effects of warfarin but is not used for that purpose. Calcium gluconate would not be indicated for this patient.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Succinylcholine is associated with muscle pain related to the initial muscle contraction reaction. A nondepolarizing NMJ blocker may be given first to prevent some of these contractions and the associated discomfort. Administering a small dose of nondepolarizing NMJ blocker will not reduce the risk of malignant hyperthermia or increase the duration of effects. Dantrolene is a drug given to treat malignant hyperthermia.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
