Digoxin is the correct answer for this question because it is commonly used to treat various heart conditions such as congestive heart failure (CHF), atrial arrhythmias, atrial fibrillation (a fib), atrial flutter, and paroxysmal atrial tachycardia. Digoxin helps to slow down the heart rate and improve heart function, making it an effective medication for these conditions. Morphine is typically used for pain relief, Lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor used for hypertension, and Furosemide is a diuretic used to reduce fluid retention.
10.
Which medication is used for: edema due to HF, hepatic impairment, renal disease, hypertension
Correct Answer
B. Furosemide
Explanation
Furosemide is the correct answer because it is a loop diuretic commonly used to treat edema caused by heart failure, hepatic impairment, renal disease, and hypertension. It works by increasing the excretion of water and electrolytes, reducing fluid accumulation in the body. Digoxin is primarily used for heart failure and certain heart rhythm disorders, but it does not directly address edema or hypertension. Pantoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor used to reduce stomach acid production, and morphine is an opioid analgesic used for pain relief.
11.
Which medication is used for: venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, a fib w/ embolization, decreases risk of myocardial infarctions
Correct Answer
C. Warfarin
Explanation
Warfarin is the correct answer because it is an anticoagulant medication commonly used to treat venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and atrial fibrillation with embolization. It works by inhibiting the formation of blood clots, reducing the risk of myocardial infarctions. Lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor used for hypertension and heart failure, Metoprolol is a beta-blocker used for hypertension and angina, and Aspirin is an antiplatelet medication used for preventing heart attacks and strokes.

It is also used for prophylaxis of transient ischemic attack (TIA) and myocardial infarction (MI), as well as for inflammatory disorders. Additionally, aspirin is known for its ability to prevent platelet aggregation, which makes it useful in preventing blood clots.
17.
Which medication interferes with Vit. K dependent clotting factors
Correct Answer
B. Warfarin
Explanation
Warfarin is the correct answer because it is a medication that interferes with Vitamin K dependent clotting factors. Warfarin works by inhibiting the production of Vitamin K, which is necessary for the synthesis of clotting factors in the liver. By inhibiting these clotting factors, warfarin helps to prevent the formation of blood clots. Digoxin, Lisinopril, and Aspirin do not interfere with Vitamin K dependent clotting factors.
18.
Furosemide is a ________ diuretic.
Correct Answer
loop
Explanation
Furosemide is classified as a loop diuretic. Loop diuretics work by inhibiting the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the loop of Henle in the kidneys, leading to increased urine production and removal of excess fluid from the body. This class of diuretics is particularly effective in treating conditions such as edema and hypertension. Furosemide specifically targets the sodium-potassium-chloride co-transporter in the loop of Henle, resulting in a potent diuretic effect.
