drug/dose to anticipate administering?
150 mg IV push - ANSWER A patient is in refractory ventricular fibrillation and has
received multiple appropriate defibrillation shocks, epinephrine 1 mg IV twice, and an
initial dose of 300 mg amidarone IV. The patient is intubated. A second does of
amiodarone is now called for. The recommended second dose of amiodarone is
Adenosine 6 mg - ANSWER A 35-year-old woman has palpitations, light-headiness,
