Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Contraindications to pseudoephedrine use include severe hypertension or coronary artery disease because of the drug's cardiac stimulating and vasoconstricting effects. Breast-feeding does not necessarily contraindicate the use of pseudoephedrine, though caution would be warranted. The other listed medical diagnoses do not contraindicate the use of pseudoephedrine.

Answer to Question 2

C
