Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Antihypertensive drug therapy is usually long term and is taken regularly, except in instances of hypotension or bradycardia. Therapy should not be seen as a response to short-term hypertensive readings. The other listed statements are appropriate responses to diagnosis and treatment.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Tylenol 3 is acetaminophen (Tylenol) and codeine. Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) is not combined with acetaminophen (Tylenol). Methadone (Dolophine) is not combined with Tylenol. Tramadol (Ultram) is not combined with Tylenol.
