Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The adverse effects of nitrates are almost all secondary to their action on the cardiovascular sys-tem. The decreased afterload produced by arteriolar dilation causes hypotension.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Dairy products such as milk, cheese, yogurt, and ice cream should be avoided for 2 hours before and after the dose because these foods reduce drug absorption.
