  A) I
  B) II
  C) III
  D) IV

Question 2

A 3-year-old girl with a diagnosis of spasticity caused by cerebral palsy has been admitted to the unit. The physician has ordered dantrolene to see if it relieves the spasticity in the child's arms and hands.

Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The class III antiarrhythmics block potassium, prolonging phase 3 of the action potential, which prolongs repolarization and slows the rate and conduction of the heart. Class I drugs block the sodium channels in the cell membrane during an action potential. Class II drugs are beta-adrenergic blockers that block beta-receptors, causing a depression of phase 4 of the action potential. Class IV drugs block calcium channels in the cell membrane leading to a depression of depolarization and a prolongation of phases I and II of repolarization, which slows automaticity.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Children prescribed dantrolene should be routinely and regularly screened for central nervous system and gastrointestinal (including hepatic) toxicity. Growth and development should be routinely screened in all children. Renal, respiratory, and CV screening is not indicated.

Did you know?

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).

A recent study has found that following a diet rich in berries may slow down the aging process of the brain. This diet apparently helps to keep dopamine levels much higher than are seen in normal individuals who do not eat berries as a regular part of their diet as they enter their later years.

Serum cholesterol testing in adults is recommended every 1 to 5 years. People with diabetes and a family history of high cholesterol should be tested even more frequently.
