Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The most common adverse effect of nitrate therapy is headache. Analgesics, such as acetaminophen, may be used if needed. The medication should not be discontinued. When administered sublingually, this medication is taken as needed for chest pain. Lying down will not prevent the occurrence of a headache.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Baseline and follow-up ECGs should be obtained to evaluate the effects on the patient's QT incorrect interval. Increased coronary artery vasodilation is not an effect of this medication. This medication causes GI side effects such as abdominal pain. This medication does not elevate LDL levels.

This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
