Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Nesiritide should not be administered if the systolic blood pressure is less than 90 mm Hg. The presence of jaundice, edema, or an irregular heart rate does not necessarily contraindicate the use of this drug.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Estrogen is prescribed in woman of reproductive age to treat amenorrhea. Testosterone and FSH are not used for amenorrhea. Lactate is not used to treat amenorrhea.
