Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Peristalsis is the basic movement of the esophagus. The large intestine uses mass movement, the stomach uses churning, and the small intestine uses segmentation.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Sublingual nitroglycerin may be taken at 5-minute intervals up to a maximum of three doses to relieve anginal chest pain. Headaches are very common due to vasodilation and do not indicate a toxic level. Nitroglycerin causes significant peripheral vasodilation in addition to its therapeutic effects of coronary artery dilation so no more than three tablets should be taken, even though it is not habit forming. Dizziness could be an adverse effect of the drug or a manifestation of inadequate cardiac output, but it would not indicate the patient should stop taking it.
