Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Sildenafil should not be taken with alpha1-adrenergic antagonists, such as silodosin, because of the risk of severe decreases in blood pressure. Finasteride is not an alpha1-adrenergic antagonist and may be taken with sildenafil. Not all medications for BPH are safe to take with sildenafil. Invasive treatments for BPH are used when symptoms are severe.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, E
The physiologic effects associated with androgen therapy are promotion of skeletal muscle growth, an increase in height and weight, acceleration of epiphyseal closure, deepening of the voice, oily skin, and acne. Androgen therapy accelerates epiphyseal closure; it does not delay it. Androgen therapy deepens the voice rather than raising the pitch.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
