Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Use of beta blockers during pregnancy can affect a newborn for several days after birth. Newborns are at risk for bradycardia, respiratory distress, and hypoglycemia. Hyperglycemia, hyperthyroidism, and tachycardia are not expected residual effects.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Alfuzosin is indicated for BPH only and is contraindicated in patients with moderate to severe hepatic impairment; therefore, LFTs would be an important assessment. It does not interfere with ejaculation. It does not reduce blood pressure and does not cause sodium retention or increased blood volume, so diuretics are not necessary. It does not cause orthostatic hypotension, so first-dose effect precautions are not necessary.
