Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Sympathomimetic decongestants cause stimulation of the alpha-adrenergic receptors that can increase blood pressure. Excessive use of decongestants when taking a beta-adrenergic blocking agent or monoamine oxidase inhibitor can cause significant hypertension. Alpha receptor stimulation does not cause hypotension, orbital edema, or facial flushing.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, D
Hypertension, underlying medical diseases of the liver, pregnancy, and use of corticosteroids may contribute to fluid volume excess. Skin disorders do not contribute to fluid volume excess.
