Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Capillary leakage syndrome, an adverse effect of aldesleukin, is a particular concern, because it is a potentially fatal reaction characterized by hypotension and reduced organ perfusion.
Proleukin is not associated with hypertension, hyperglycemia, or hyperuricemia.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Anastrozole causes fewer hot flushes than tamoxifen.
Anastrozole increases nausea and irritability.
Anastrozole does not promote endometrial hyperplasia.
