Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Nitroglycerin acts within 1 to 3 minutes. Other options are incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, D, E
Feedback:
Intranasal administration of hydrocortisone can result in headache, nausea, nasal irritation, fungal infections, epistaxis, rebound congestion, perforation of the nasal septum, anosmia, and urticaria. Systemically administered hydrocortisone has many possible adverse effects including impaired wound healing and hypotension, but these would not be likely to be associated with intranasal administration of hydrocortisone.
