Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The treatment for malignant hyperthermia consists of intravenous dantrolene sodium (Dantrium), oxygenation and hyperventilation, hydration, and body cooling. The patient will already be intubated. Narcan and dialysis are not indicated.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Assisting the patient to cough and deep breathe will increase lung capacity and assist in fighting the infection. Promoting hand hygiene is important but will not increase lung capacity. Increasing rest will assist in recovery but will not increase lung capacity. Frequent repositioning does not increase lung capacity.
