Answer to Question 1

D
Beta blockers are combined with nifedipine to prevent reflex tachycardia. Beta blockers do not reduce flushing, minimize gingival hyperplasia, or prevent constipation. Beta blockers can reduce the adverse cardiac effects of nifedipine.

Answer to Question 2

A
In almost all cases of mania, divalproex sodium is the drug of choice, except for euphoric mania symptoms. Lithium is used to treat euphoric mania. Olanzapine and risperidone are used to treat other symptoms associated with BPD.
