Answer to Question 1

Answer: B, C, D, E

Nicotine causes the release of epinephrine, which triggers vasoconstriction, exacerbating intermittent claudication. Tobacco use causes atherosclerosis, which is seen in intermittent claudication. Tar and other chemicals, not nicotine, cause the destruction of the alveoli seen in emphysema and the productive cough seen in chronic bronchitis.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

Open-ended questions will elicit the greatest amount of information. Asking closed questions that can be answered with a yes or no will limit the information obtained.
