Answer to Question 1

It is especially important to monitor potassium levels; the HCTZ can cause decreased levels, but
ACE inhibitors, such as benazepril, can cause potassium levels to increase. Both drugs can cause
decreased sodium and creatinine levels. HCTZ can increase serum glucose levels and decrease serum
magnesium levels.

Answer to Question 2

Answers: a, b, e
Headache, cough, and dizziness are common side effects of benazepril, as well as postural hypotension with position changes. The other responses are not correct.
