Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
For women 35 years of age and older who smoke, there is an increased risk of myocardial infarction and other cardiovascular disorders, even with low-dose oral contraceptives. The increase in this risk supersedes that of osteoporosis, dementia, or DVT.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Cocaine intoxication carries a high risk for cardiac dysrhythmias. Consequently, cardiovascular assessment would be a priority over lung auscultation, assessment of cranial nerve function, or assessment of blood glucose levels.
