Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Captopril (Capoten) is the first-line agent for treating hypertension in diabetic patients, particularly those with type 1 diabetes. Captopril can be used for hypertension in patients with asthma, glaucoma, and angina pectoris but is not the first-line agent, as noted in diabetes mellitus.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
In order to achieve maximum therapeutic benefit, it is important for the patient to take the drug exactly as ordered. The patient's statement suggests that she does not appreciate or understand this fact. There is no evidence of pathological thought patterns or ineffective coping.
