Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Blood pressure is a measure of afterload so the higher the patient's blood pressure the higher the afterload. The higher the resistance in the system, the harder the heart will have to contract to force open the valves and pump the blood along. Options B, C, and D are not correct.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Only pilocarpine is indicated for treatment of Sjgren's syndrome. None of the other medications are indicated for this purpose.
