Question 1 of 5
Which of the following antiarrhythmic drugs would be appropriate for this patient?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Step 1: Identify the patient's condition as ventricular arrhythmia. Step 2: Choose a drug effective for ventricular arrhythmias, like Lidocaine. Step 3: Lidocaine is a class Ib antiarrhythmic drug that acts quickly on ventricular tissue. Step 4: Sotalol (A) is a non-selective beta blocker, not ideal for ventricular arrhythmias. Step 5: Flecainide (B) is a class Ic antiarrhythmic drug more suitable for supraventricular arrhythmias. Step 6: Mexiletine (C) is a class Ib antiarrhythmic, but lidocaine is preferred for acute ventricular arrhythmias.
