Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: Visceral pain is defined as a dull, throbbing, or aching pain.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1,2
Rationale: Drowsiness and dizziness can occur with sumatriptan (Imitrex). Pseudoephedrine (Sudafed) is a vasoconstrictor as is sumatriptan (Imitrex). The combination could dramatically increase the patient's blood pressure. There isn't any relationship between sumatriptan (Imitrex) and ulcers. Sumatriptan (Imitrex) does not need to be taken with protein. There is no need to increase fluid intake with sumatriptan (Imitrex).
