Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
With a shorter half-life, more of the drug is eliminated quickly. This requires a higher dose of the medication.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The client who is hypertensive will likely experience a decreased effect from his antihypertensive medication and an increase in his hypertension if he is simultaneously taking Yohimbe.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
