Choice C rationale: Hypertension is not typically a direct result of atrial fibrillation. However, long-term untreated hypertension can be a cause of atrial fibrillation12.

Choice D rationale: Chest pain can occur in atrial fibrillation due to decreased blood flow to the heart12.

Choice E rationale: Dizziness is a common symptom in atrial fibrillation due to decreased blood flow to the brain12.

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.
