Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
A drop in venous pressure reduces venous return to the heart, and as blood pools in the extremities, orthostatic hypotension can occur. Patients taking drugs that reduce venous constriction should be cautioned to ask for assistance when getting out of bed. Bradycardia, headache, and shortness of breath are not expected effects.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
ACE inhibitors can cause severe renal insufficiency in patients with bilateral renal artery stenosis or stenosis in the artery to a single remaining kidney. Bronchial asthma, coronary artery disease, and diabetes mellitus are not comorbidities that are contraindications to treatment with an ACE inhibitor.

Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.

Hypertension is a silent killer because it is deadly and has no significant early symptoms. The danger from hypertension is the extra load on the heart, which can lead to hypertensive heart disease and kidney damage. This occurs without any major symptoms until the high blood pressure becomes extreme. Regular blood pressure checks are an important method of catching hypertension before it can kill you.
