Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is more common in older adults, particularly those with underlying conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD can lead to structural changes in the heart, increasing the risk of AF. The elderly are particularly vulnerable due to age-related heart changes and comorbidities such as lung disease.

B. While carotid endarterectomy is a surgical procedure that can be related to stroke prevention, it is not directly associated with a higher risk of AF compared to COPD.

C. Aspirin is used for its antiplatelet effects, not directly related to the risk of AF.

D. Post coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery increases the risk for arrhythmias, but it is less directly linked to AF than conditions like COPD in an older adult.

A. Potassium chloride B. Vitamin E C. Protamine sulfate D. Vitamin K

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Potassium chloride is used to treat hypokalemia, not as a warfarin antidote.

B. Vitamin E does not counteract warfarin’s effects and may increase bleeding risk.

C. Protamine sulfate is the antidote for heparin, not warfarin.

D. Vitamin K is the appropriate antidote for excessive warfarin, as it promotes the synthesis of clotting factors inhibited by warfarin.
