Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Calcium is an electrolyte that is used in many of the body's metabolic processes. These processes include membrane transport systems, conduction of nerve impulses, muscle contraction, and blood clotting. To achieve all of these effects, serum levels of calcium must be maintained between 9 and 11 mg/dL. Other options are incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Rocuronium may be associated with pulmonary hypertension. Cisatracurium (Nimbex) contains benzyl alcohol; Atracurium (Tracrium) is associated with bradycardia; and Pancuronium (Pavulon) is associated with an increased heart rate.
