Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Adverse effects of finasteride include various sexual dysfunctions, such as impotence, gynecomastia, reduced libido, and ejaculatory disorders. Urethral burning, kidney stones, and visual disturbances are not common adverse effects of finasteride.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Nitroglycerin should be used cautiously in the presence of a head injury or cerebral hemorrhage because it may increase intracranial pressure. Nitroglycerin will lower blood pressure. Nitroglycerin can increase cerebral edema. Nitroglycerin does not have a direct effect on blood glucose.
