Answer to Question 1

B
Buccal drugs are placed between the cheek and molar teeth of the upper jaw. Sublingual drugs are placed under the tongue. Drugs in drop form may be placed in the nose and eyes.

Answer to Question 2

A
Minoxidil is a direct vasodilator that acts on peripheral arteries, causing them to dilate (widen) and leading to decreased blood pressure. Propranolol is a beta blocker, captopril is an angioten-sin-converting enzyme inhibitor, and diltiazem is a calcium channel blocker.
