Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Potentially serious adverse effects to keep in mind include increased serum levels and toxicity of cyclosporine if they are taken with diltiazem. This combination is not associated with diltiazem toxicity. A functioning implanted kidney should still excrete diltiazem. This drug would not cause rejection of a transplanted kidney.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
With oral administration, peak activity occurs in about 60 minutes. The duration of action is 5 to 7 hours.
