Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
A potentially fatal complication of DVT is pulmonary embolism, which is manifested by dyspnea, chest pain, hemoptysis, and tachycardia.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Magnesium sulfate is a central nervous system depressant given to prevent seizures. It depresses the conduction of nerve impulses and relaxes smooth muscle. It is not specifically an antihypertensive drug.
