Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Initiation of antihypertensive therapy creates a risk of acute hypotension and consequent falls. Infection, confusion, or impaired oxygenation is much less likely.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Naloxone (Narcan) has long been the drug of choice to treat respiratory depression caused by an opioid. Capsaicin is made from cayenne pepper and applied topically for pain relief. Butorphanol (Stadol) is a synthetic, Schedule IV agonist similar to morphine in analgesic effects and ability to cause respiratory depression. Nalbuphine (Nubain) is a synthetic analgesic used for moderate to severe pain.

Hippocrates noted that blood separates into four differently colored liquids when removed from the body and examined: a pure red liquid mixed with white liquid material with a yellow-colored froth at the top and a black substance that settles underneath; he named these the four humors (for blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile).

Did you know?

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
