Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Nicotine transdermal patches usually are packaged in systems, with progressively smaller doses of nicotine. The 16-hour patch is designed to be removed at bedtime; this simulates the usual nicotine dosing produced by smoking. It does not necessarily affect the ability to sleep. Individuals who weigh less than 100 pounds are advised to use smaller patches. Heavier smokers are advised to begin with larger patches.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Moderate amounts of alcohol help minimize clot formation and clot destruction and also help suppress the inflammatory component of atherosclerosis. Alcohol produces a dose-dependent increase in blood pressure. For moderate drinkers, consumption 3 or 4 days per week is better than 1 to 2 days per week to obtain cardiovascular benefits. Moderate consumption of alcohol elevates high-density lipoproteins.
