Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Relistor is only given by subcutaneous injection once each day.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Both nitroglycerin and nifedipine have hypotension as a potential adverse effect so frequent assessment of blood pressure is important. Other cardiovascular effects include bradycardia, peripheral edema, and heart block. Skin effects include flushing and rash. Adverse effects do not include renal insufficiency, hypokalemia, or hypoglycemia.
