Answer to Question 1

D
Multi-drug therapy does not lower blood pressure more quickly. Using more than one drug often means that doses can be decreased. Some agents can offset adverse effects of other agents. Treatment via different mechanisms increases the likelihood of success.

Answer to Question 2

D
Nausea, anorexia, and fatigue can indicate hepatotoxicity and should be reported to the provider. Virilization effects, gynecomastia, and an increase in libido are common, expected effects.
