Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Serious drops in blood pressure, leading to potentially fatal myocardial infarction or cerebrovascular event, have been reported when Cialis is combined with alpha-adrenergic blockers. This reaction has not been reported with beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, or ACE inhibitors.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Assess for contraindications or cautions: any known allergies to the drug to avoid hypersensitivity reactions; presence of any cardiovascular diseases, which could be exacerbated by the vascular effects of these drugs; thyrotoxicosis, or diabetes, which would lead to an increase in thyroid stimulation or glucose elevation; chronic renal failure, which could be exacerbated by drug use; renal or hepatic impairment, which could interfere with drug excretion or metabolism; and current status of pregnancy and lactation. Options A, C, and D are incorrect.
