Answer to Question 1

1,2,3
Rationale 1: Some alpha blockers result in impotence or inhibition of ejaculation.
Rationale 2: Nasal congestion is a common adverse effect of alpha blockade.
Rationale 3: Drowsiness may occur with alpha blockers.
Rationale 4: Anxiety is not a common adverse effect of this drug.
Rationale 5: Reflex tachycardia may occur, but bradycardia is not expected.

Global Rationale: Some alpha blockers result in impotence or inhibition of ejaculation. Nasal congestion is a common adverse effect of alpha blockade. Drowsiness may occur with alpha blockers. Anxiety is not a common adverse effect of this drug. Reflex tachycardia may occur, but bradycardia is not expected.

Answer to Question 2

Rationale 1: Heart rate is not specifically involved except in its role in cardiac output.
Rationale 2: Although many factors can contribute to blood pressure, such as diet and weight, it is a person's cardiac output, blood volume, and peripheral vascular resistance that create the pressure.
Rationale 3: Age, weight, and race do not specifically control blood pressure.
Rationale 4: Body mass index, diet, and genetics do not specifically control blood pressure.
Global Rationale: Although many factors can contribute to blood pressure, such as diet and weight, it is a person's cardiac output, blood volume, and peripheral vascular resistance that create the pressure. Heart rate is not specifically involved except in its role in cardiac output. Age, weight, and race do not specifically control blood pressure. Body mass index, diet, and genetics do not specifically control blood pressure.
