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.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.

Though methadone is often used to treat dependency on other opioids, the drug itself can be abused. Crushing or snorting methadone can achieve the opiate "rush" desired by addicts. Improper use such as these can lead to a dangerous dependency on methadone. This drug now accounts for nearly one-third of opioid-related deaths.
