  c. takes nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs several days in a row.
  d. has recurrent headaches or insomnia.

Answer to Question 1

A
Vomiting and diarrhea may cause oral contraceptive failure, so women should be advised to use backup contraception if they experience these. The other conditions do not lead to oral contraceptive failure.

Answer to Question 2

B
In the treatment of heart failure, loop diuretics relieve the congestive symptoms of pulmonary and congestive edema. Loop diuretics are also useful to treat states of volume excess in cirrhosis and renal insufficiency. Because this patient has a history of alcoholism and has an enlarged liver on examination, furosemide is a good first choice to relieve this patient's congestive symptoms. Spironolactone and chlorthalidone are not loop diuretics. Albuterol might be used for symptomatic treatment only.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
