Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Peripheral edema, heart block, bradycardia, and hypotension can occur with calcium-channel blockers. Asthma, ascites, and tetany are not associated with these drugs.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The greater and lesser omenta hang from the stomach over the lower GI tract and are full of lymph nodes, lymphocytes, monocytes, and other components of the mononuclear phagocyte system. This barrier provides rapid protection for the rest of the body if any of the bacteria or other foreign agents in the GI tract should be absorbed into the body. Other options do not serve as barriers.
