Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Paradoxically, if protamine is given to a patient who has not received heparin, it has anticoagulant effects. Protamine is normally used as an antidote to heparin overdose but if heparin was not administered, it does not have coagulation or antiplatelet effects. Since it has anticoagulant effects it cannot be said to have no effect.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Administering xanthines (e.g., theophylline, aminophylline) could result in reversal of the neuromuscular blockage. Patients receiving this combination of drugs should be monitored very closely during the procedure for the potential of early arousal and return of muscle function. Barbiturates, opiates, and antihypertensives do not reverse neuromuscular blockage.
