Q3. D.
pt's having AF with rapid ventricular response. You control rate by Beta blocker or CCB or Digoxin. Digoxin controls rate only at rest, whereas BB and CCB control at rest and exercise. Question's asking about a drug to control rate at exercise and had listed on propranolol as a BB. Note: pts with AF and having little symptoms because of AF will be better treated with rate control. pts who have more severe disease or structural abnormality of the heart are unlikely to stay on sinus rhythm for a long time (rhythm control).

4. C.
Grave disease pt n asking for mechanism of the drug used in the Rx. Methimazole or PTU, both inhibit thyroperoxidase activity (oxidation, organification and coupling). PTU also inhibit peripheral T4 to T3 conversion and is better used in pregnant because it's better protein bound. A journey to step 2 CK. best treatment for hyperthyroidism is to control symptoms by using BB and achieve normal thyroid function by PTU/Meth, FOLLOWED BY definitive Rx (ablation). Surgery is done only for pregnant (2nd trimester) and children or massive thyroid enlargement.
