Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Carbamazepine (Tegretol) is prescribed to treat trigeminal neuralgia. Phenytoin is not administered for trigeminal neuralgia. Fosphenytoin is not administered for trigeminal neuralgia. Ethosuximide is not administered for trigeminal neuralgia.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Classic angina pain related to angina pectoris is substernal chest pain that can radiate to the jaw. Chest pain that lasts longer than 5 minutes is not associated with angina but is associated with myocardial infarction. Hypertension is usually a condition in which the patient is pain free. Intermittent claudication is not associated with chest pain.
