Question 1 of 5

Tick the anticancer drug belonging to inorganic metal complexes:

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Cisplatin. Cisplatin is an anticancer drug belonging to inorganic metal complexes. It contains the metal platinum, which forms coordination complexes that interfere with DNA repair mechanisms in cancer cells, leading to cell death. Dacarbazine (A) is an organic compound, not an inorganic metal complex. Methotrexate (C) is a folate antagonist and Vincristine (D) is a vinca alkaloid, both are organic compounds unrelated to inorganic metal complexes. Thus, B is the correct choice for an anticancer drug belonging to inorganic metal complexes.

Question 2 of 5

Which of the following drugs was most likely the second drug administered to a patient with atrial fibrillation and wide QRS after being given amiodarone?

Correct Answer: F

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Mexiletine. After administering amiodarone for atrial fibrillation and wide QRS, the next drug should target the wide QRS complex, indicating possible ventricular involvement. Mexiletine, a Class IB antiarrhythmic, is commonly used to treat ventricular arrhythmias. Lidocaine (A) is also a Class IB antiarrhythmic, but Mexiletine is preferred in this scenario due to its longer half-life. Phenytoin (C) is not indicated for atrial fibrillation or wide QRS. Nifedipine (D) is a calcium channel blocker and is not appropriate for treating ventricular arrhythmias.
