Answer to Question 1

A
OC users can achieve an extended-cycle schedule by discarding the inert pills and beginning a new pack for up to four cycles. It is not necessary to discontinue OCs. Because this woman has already purchased a 1-year supply, using the 28-day-cycle product as described is appropriate. If this woman opts for a long-term product, she should discontinue the OC.

Answer to Question 2

C
Ramipril Altace is approved for reducing the risk of stroke and myocardial infarction (MI) in patients at high risk for a major cardiovascular event because they have hypertension in conjunc-tion with a history of stroke or MI or because they have diabetes. ACE inhibitors cannot be used for primary prevention of diabetic nephropathy, but they can delay the onset of overt nephropa-thy in patients who already have less advanced nephropathy. ACE inhibitors do not affect serum electrolytes or glucose. One ACE inhibitor, enalapril, can reduce the risk of diabetic retinopathy in some patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
