Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Tacrolimus has a black box warning about a possible increased risk of skin cancer and lymphoma. It is not noted to cause fungal infections, psoriasis, or chemical burn injuries.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Hypertension is defined as a systolic pressure above 140 mm Hg or a diastolic pressure above 90 mm Hg on multiple blood pressure measurements. The blood pressure of 160/110 mm Hg is considered hypertensive but does not define hypertension. The blood pressure of 130/95 mm Hg is hypertensive but does not define hypertension. The blood pressure of 150/100 mm Hg is hypertensive but does not define hypertension.
