Answer to Question 1

Ans:
B

Feedback:

The nephrotoxicity of the drug cyclosporine, an immunosuppressant used in transplant therapy, may cause hypertension in children after bone marrow, heart, kidney, or liver transplantation.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A

Feedback:

Angiotensin is a potent vasoconstrictor, and medications that block this induce vasodilation. Epinephrine is also a vasoconstrictor. Histamine is a vasodilator, so antihistamine medications are likely to induce vasoconstriction. Serotonin is a vasoconstrictor, so medications that block its reuptake and increase free levels are apt to promote vasoconstriction.
