Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Lidocaine, when administered with neuromuscular blocking agents, may cause respiratory depression. Ventilator dependent patients may require additional time to be weaned when on these categories of medications. Hyperkalemia, neurotoxicity, and seizures are not adverse effects of therapy with these two drugs.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The initial lidocaine bolus is 1 to 1.5 mg/kg, decreased by half in older adults, patients with hepatic disease, and patients with heart failure. Doses of 10, 25, and 50 mg are too low for a patient of this weight.
