Jacob has hypertension, for which a calcium channel blocker has been prescribed. This drug helps control blood pressure because it:
 
  1. Decreases the amount of calcium inside the cell
  2. Reduces stroke volume
  3. Increases the activity of the Na+/K+/ATPase pump indirectly
  4. Decreases heart rate

Question 2

Laboratory monitoring for patients on angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers should include:
 
  1. White blood cell counts with the drug dosage increased for elevations above 10,000 feet
  2. Liver function tests with the drug dosage stopped for alanine aminotransferase values twice that of normal
  3. Serum creatinine levels with the drug dosage reduced for values greater than 2.5 mg/dL
  4. Serum glucose levels with the drug dosage increased for levels greater than 120 mg/dL

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
