Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,2
Rationale 1: All dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers are equivalent in effectiveness for treating hypertension.
Rationale 2: All dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers are equivalent in effectiveness for treating angina.
Rationale 3: Dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers are not utilized in the treatment of cerebrovascular disease.
Rationale 4: Dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers are not utilized in the treatment of deep vein thrombosis.
Rationale 5: Dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers are not utilized in the treatment of pulmonary embolism.
Global Rationale: All dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers are equivalent in effectiveness for treating hypertension and angina. Dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers are not utilized in the treatment of cerebrovascular disease, deep vein thrombosis, or pulmonary embolism.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1,2,3
Rationale 1: Amlodipine (Norvasc) is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker.
Rationale 2: Felodipine (Plendil) is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker.
Rationale 3: Nicardipine (Cardene) is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker.
Rationale 4: Diltiazem (Cardizem) is a nondihydropyridine calcium channel blocker.
Rationale 5: Verapamil (Calan) is a nondihydropyridine calcium channel blocker.
Global Rationale: Amlodipine (Norvasc), felodipine (Plendil), and nicardipine (Cardene) are all dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers. Diltiazem (Cardizem) and verapamil (Calan) are both nondihydropyridine calcium channel blockers.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
