    • Irregular hearbeat

    • Regular heartbeat

    • Both 1 & 2

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Irregular hearbeat
    Explanation
    Cardiac arrhythmia refers to an irregular heartbeat. This means that the heart does not beat in a regular, steady rhythm. It can either beat too fast (tachycardia), too slow (bradycardia), or with an irregular pattern. This condition can lead to various symptoms, such as palpitations, dizziness, shortness of breath, and in severe cases, it can be life-threatening. Treatment options for cardiac arrhythmia include medication, lifestyle changes, and in some cases, medical procedures or surgery.

    Correct Answer
    A. Virus
    Explanation
    Postherpetic neuralgia is caused by a virus. This condition occurs as a complication of shingles, which is caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV). After a person recovers from the initial shingles infection, the virus remains dormant in the nerve tissue. However, in some cases, the virus can reactivate and cause postherpetic neuralgia, which is characterized by persistent nerve pain in the area previously affected by shingles. Therefore, the correct answer is virus.

    Select all that applies right:Anti-cholinergic side effects refers to 

    • Blurred vision

    • Dryness of mouth

    • Consumption

    • Constipation

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Blurred vision
    A. Dryness of mouth
    A. Constipation
    Explanation
    Anti-cholinergic side effects refer to the symptoms caused by medications or substances that inhibit the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter in the nervous system. Blurred vision, dryness of mouth, and constipation are all common side effects of anti-cholinergic drugs. These drugs can affect the normal functioning of the eye muscles, leading to blurred vision. They can also reduce saliva production, causing dryness of the mouth, and affect the muscles in the digestive system, leading to constipation. Consumption, however, is not related to anti-cholinergic side effects and is not applicable in this context.
