Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
ARBs do not promote the accumulation of bradykinin in the lungs and do not induce cough. Angioedema may occur with ARBs, but the incidence is lower than with ACE inhibitors. An increased risk of cancer may be a concern with ARBs but is not a concern with ACE inhibitors. As with ACE inhibitors, renal failure can occur in patients with bilateral renal artery stenosis or stenosis in the artery to a single remaining kidney.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
DRIs should be taken on an empty stomach to improve their bioavailability. Patients should not take this drug when pregnant and should stop immediately upon finding out they are pregnant. Dosing with a high-fat meal reduces the drug's bioavailability. DRIs rarely cause hyperkalemia when taken alone.
