Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Class II antiarrhythmics are contraindicated in patients with asthma because they could worsen the condition due to blockage of beta-receptors. They are not contraindicated in patients with colitis, migraine headache, or diarrhea.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The concurrent use of beta blockers and ergot preparations increases the patient's risk for peripheral ischemia and gangrene. This combination should be avoided. There is no indication for concern with the use of antidiabetic agents, SSRIs, and oral contraceptives with these drugs.
