Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Preferred agents include diuretics and beta-adrenergic blockers. ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor antagonists, calcium ion agonists, and central acting alpha agonists are alternative agents. Direct vasodilators and peripherally acting adrenergic antagonists are adjunctive agents.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Beta-adrenergic blocking agents can cause bronchoconstriction, which will aggravate asthmatic conditions. ACE inhibitors do not affect respiratory function. Diuretics have the effect of improving respiratory function in cases of congestive heart failure. Aldosterone receptor antagonists do not affect respiratory function.
