Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
ACE inhibitors, ARBs, and renin inhibitors should not be used during pregnancy, and women of childbearing age should be advised to use barrier contraceptives to prevent pregnancy while taking these drugs. Calcium channel blockers and vasodilators should not be used in pregnancy unless the benefit to the mother clearly outweighs the potential risk to the fetus.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The scopolamine transdermal patch is 1.5 mg. If administered subcutaneously (SC) or intamuscularly (IM), the dosage would be 0.32 to 0.65 mg. Pediatric dosage is 0.006 mg/kg subcutaneous, IM, or IV.
