Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Patients receiving pentoxifylline frequently display a small reduction in systemic blood pressure. An antihypertensive medication may potentiate this effect. Patients must be monitored for hypotension, and therapy may have to be reduced to minimize adverse effects. Pentoxifylline does not interact with antilipemic, antibiotic, or antipsychotic agents.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Patients must be taught the interrelationships between the PVD and other related diseases that they may have, such as diabetes, hypertension, angina, and hyperlipidemia. Control or lack of control of the contributing factors of these related diseases will significantly affect the progression of the PVD. PVD is usually a development that is related to other diseases already present in the body. PVD can be controlled but not cured or completely reversed. Surgical interventions will not cure the disease, although it may somewhat control the vascular damage.
