Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: Propranolol (Inderal) should be used cautiously in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus due to its hypoglycemic effects. Peripheral circulation should not be affected by propranolol (Inderal). Activities of daily living are important for any patient, but should not be affected by propranolol (Inderal). Propranolol (Inderal) should not affect the patient's appetite; the patient should not decrease calories.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: Beta blockers decrease contractions of the myocardium and decrease the speed of conduction through the atrioventricular (AV) node. This can result in a significant decrease in heart rate, and the patient should let the physician know if his heart rate falls below 60. Beta blockers decrease, not increase, the heart rate. Beta blockers predispose the patient to weight gain, not weight loss. Beta blockers actually decrease, not increase, anxiety.
