Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
A drop in venous pressure reduces venous return to the heart, and as blood pools in the extremities, orthostatic hypotension can occur. Patients taking drugs that reduce venous constriction should be cautioned to ask for assistance when getting out of bed. Bradycardia, headache, and shortness of breath are not expected effects.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
ACE inhibitors can cause severe renal insufficiency in patients with bilateral renal artery stenosis or stenosis in the artery to a single remaining kidney. Bronchial asthma, coronary artery disease, and diabetes mellitus are not comorbidities that are contraindications to treatment with an ACE inhibitor.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
