Question 1 of 5
Which of the following drugs most likely caused the patient's signs and symptoms?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Flecainide. Flecainide is a class I antiarrhythmic drug that can cause proarrhythmia, leading to exacerbation of arrhythmias and increased risk of sudden cardiac death. It is known to cause ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation, which could manifest as the patient's signs and symptoms. Mexiletine (A) and Lidocaine (D) are also class I antiarrhythmics, but they are less likely to cause the described symptoms compared to Flecainide. Sotalol (B) is a class III antiarrhythmic drug and would not typically present with the same signs and symptoms as Flecainide.
