Answer to Question 1

B
Drugs administered intravenously are immediately available in the bloodstream. If the dosage is wrong or if it is the wrong drug, there is no simple way to stop the drug's action.

Answer to Question 2

A
Drugs that lower blood pressure can make a normal pressure too low and can make a low blood pressure worse. Checking the patient's blood pressure before giving a drug ensures that the pa-tient is not hypotensive at the time he or she receives the drug. Some drugs can change the body's electrolyte concentration so much that an irregular heart rate can occur; however, all an-tihypertensive drugs can lower blood pressure.
