Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Alefacept is prescribed for patients with severe chronic plaque psoriasis. Cyclosporine is used to suppress rejection in a variety of transplant situations. Azathioprine is used to treat patients with rheumatoid arthritis and in prevention of rejection in renal homotransplants. Tacrolimus is used for prevention of rejection after renal or liver transplantation.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Avoid stressful activities, especially in combination. For example, if you eat a big meal, do not drink coffee or alcoholic beverages with that meal. If you have just eaten a big meal, do not climb stairs; rest for a while. However, exercise is important and should not be eliminated, but managed in coordination with other activities. Smoking causes vasoconstriction that can result in angina attacks so lifestyle changes like reducing fat and calories in the diet, moderate exercise, reducing alcohol intake and avoiding smoking are all healthful choices. Hypertension does increase the risk of angina and coronary artery disease.
