Answer to Question 1

D
Nifedipine has no significant effect on the heart.
Both medications lower blood pressure.
Neither nifedipine nor verapamil cause migraine headaches.
Both medications cause vasodilation, thereby lowering the blood pressure.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, E
Rheumatoid arthritis is manifested by joint injury (stiffness, swelling, and pain) and systemic manifestations such as fever, weakness, fatigue, weight loss, thinning of the skin, scleritis, cor-neal ulcers, vasculitis, and nodules under the skin and periosteum.
Patients experience weight loss rather than weight gain.
Patients experience thinning of the skin rather than thickening.
