Answer to Question 1
ANS: B
Reflex tachycardia, which is a compensatory mechanism in response to decreased blood pressure, can negate the desired effect of a vasodilator by eventually increasing blood pressure. Baroreceptors relay information to the vasomotor center of the medulla; the medulla sends impulses to the heart. Beta blockers are given to counter reflex tachycardia. Reflex tachycardia can be produced by dilation of both arterioles and veins.
Answer to Question 2
ANS: A
Postural hypotension occurs when moving from a supine or seated position to an upright position. It is caused by relaxation of smooth muscle in veins, which allows blood to pool in veins and decreases venous return of blood to the heart. Patients taking such drugs should ask for assistance when getting up to prevent falls. Prolonged use of vasodilators can lead to expansion of blood volume and fluid overload, so increasing fluid intake is not appropriate. Shortness of breath is a symptom associated with heart failure. Tachycardia can occur when the blood pressure drops as a result of the baroreceptor reflex.
