Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
For relief of sudden-onset angina, fast-acting preparations of nitroglycerin include SL and chewable tablets and transmucosal spray. Sub-Q injections, sustained-release tablets, and nebulizers are not used.

Indications for filgrastim include preventing infection in patients with neutropenia induced by cancer chemotherapy or bone marrow transplantation. Surgical patients, patients with AIDS, and patients with renal failure are not typically treated with G-CSFs.
