Answer to Question 1

A

Adrenal insufficiency is most likely to occur with systemic or high doses of inhaled corticosteroids. The patient is not at risk for tachycardia, edema, or hypoglycemia unless related to adrenal insufficiency.

Feedback:
Cholestyramine (Prevalite, Questran), the prototype bile acid sequestrant, has the ability to reduce LDL cholesterol. It has little or no effect on HDL cholesterol and either no effect or an increased effect on triglyceride levels.
