Answer to Question 1

A, C, D, E
The most effective methods of birth control are IUDs, intramuscular medroxyprogesterone ace-tate Depo-Provera, implants, and sterilization. Spermicides are not one of the most effective methods of birth control.

Answer to Question 2

A
Constipation is common with verapamil and can be minimized by increasing dietary fiber and fluids. Verapamil lowers the heart rate. Peripheral edema may occur secondary to vasodilation, and patients should notify their prescriber if this occurs, because the prescriber may use diuretics to treat the condition. Verapamil and digoxin have similar cardiac effects; also, verapamil may increase plasma levels of digoxin by as much as 60, so digoxin doses may need to be reduced.
