Answer to Question 1
ANS: D
Sympathomimetics cause widespread vasoconstriction, which can be hazardous to patients with hypertension and coronary artery disease. The nurse should instruct the patient not to take these agents.
The use of these agents is unsafe in patients with hypertension and coronary artery disease because of their vasoconstrictive properties.
Rebound congestion is not a side effect specific to angina. The drug is contraindicated in patients with angina.
Answer to Question 2
