Choice C rationale: PT, PTT, and INR are lab tests used to monitor the effectiveness of anticoagulation therapy1.

Choice D rationale: Coumadin (warfarin) is a long-term anticoagulant therapy often used in the management of atrial fibrillation1.

Choice E rationale: Verapamil is a calcium channel blocker, not typically the first line of treatment for atrial fibrillation3.
So, the correct answer is Choices A, B, C, and D, after analyzing all choices.

A. Prolonged PR intervals B. Widening QRS Complex C. A reduction of a peaked T wave D. An increase in T wave amplitude

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale: Prolonged PR intervals are not typically associated with the use of polystyrene sulfonate2.

Choice B rationale: Widening of the QRS complex is not typically seen with the use of polystyrene sulfonate2.

Choice C rationale: Polystyrene sulfonate is used to treat hyperkalemia (high potassium levels). As potassium levels decrease, the peaked T wave seen in hyperkalemia may reduce234.

Choice D rationale: An increase in T wave amplitude is not typically associated with the use of polystyrene sulfonate2.
