Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
ACE inhibitors decrease vasoconstriction and aldosterone secretion. ACE inhibitors do not increase aldosterone secretion, lower the heart rate, or promote sodium retention.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Chronic cough may develop in as many as one third of patients receiving ACE inhibitors. Constipation, hypokalemia, and nervousness are not adverse effects of this medication.
