Question: 1 / 1820

Which management strategy is specifically used for QT prolongation?

Stop therapy and steroids

Monitor LVEF

ECG, K, Mg, Ca monitoring

This answer is correct because QT prolongation is a serious cardiac condition that can be caused by some medications. To manage this condition, it is important to continuously monitor the patient's ECG, potassium, magnesium, and calcium levels. Stopping therapy and steroids or limiting the dose may help in some cases, but it is not the specific management strategy for QT prolongation. Monitoring LVEF is important for overall cardiac health but does not directly address the issue of QT prolongation. Therefore, option C is the most appropriate and specific strategy for managing QT prolongation.
