What is the maximum dose of atropine recommended for bradycardia?

• 2 milligrams

• 4 milligrams

• 5 milligrams

• 3 milligrams

Which pacing method is preferred for patients with acute MI?

• Chemical pacing

• Transcutaneous pacing

• None of the above

• Transvenous pacing

What is the recommended dose range for dopamine in chemical pacing?

• 1 to 5 micrograms per kilogram per minute

• 10 to 30 micrograms per kilogram per minute

• 5 to 20 micrograms per kilogram per minute

• 2 to 10 micrograms per minute
