Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, D
Continuous cardiac monitoring is required when administering any IV medications to treat dysrhythmias. Because of the short half-life of adenosine, the IV bolus should be administered rapidly. The initial dosage of adenosine is rapid IV bolus of 6 mg followed by a saline flush. Adenosine has a short half-life.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Diarrhea is common during initiation of quinidine therapy. Chills, nausea, and rash are not common adverse effects that occur during initiation of quinidine therapy.
