When a nurse needs the most up-to-date and accurate information about a drug, the best source is:
 
  A. Physician's Desk Reference.
  B. Prescriber's Letter.
  C. Goodman & Gillman's the Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics.
  D. Drug Facts and Comparisons.
  E. the sales representative from a pharmaceutical company.

Question 2

A patient has been having increased bilateral leg cramps for a few weeks. The health care provider has diagnosed her with peripheral vascular disease (PVD).
 
  In caring for this patient, you would expect her to be started on a vasodilator drug that would: 1. decrease arterial blood flow, allowing more blood to reach the vessels.
  2. open arteries by relaxing smooth muscle, allowing more blood to reach the vessels.
  3. block closed vessels, allowing collateral circulation to other vessels.
  4. slow venous circulation, allowing arterial blood to flow more easily to vessels.
