Answer to Question 1

A
Cialis can cause priapism, a persistent erection that can develop into a urologic emergency as penile vessels may become thrombosed. Urethral obstruction is not associated with the use of tadalafil (Cialis). Hydronephrosis refers to dilation of the renal pelvis and is not associated with the use of tadalafil (Cialis). Urethritis refers to infection or inflammation of the urethra and is not associated with the use of tadalafil (Cialis).

Answer to Question 2

D
Verapamil blocks calcium from the cardiac cells, inhibiting the transmission of the impulse from the AV node.
