Answer to Question 1

Feedback:
Ranolazine is contraindicated in patients with preexisting QT prolongation. It is not contraindicated with a normal ST segment, inverted P wave, or shortened QRS.

Answer to Question 2

Feedback:
Intravenous sodium bicarbonate produces alkaline urine in which salicylates are more rapidly excreted in patients with salicylism.
