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.
