Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The beta-adrenergic blocking agents block beta receptor stimulation in the heart, which then inhibits cardiac response to sympathetic nerve stimulation. This results in a decrease in heart rate, cardiac output, and blood pressure. Beta blockers do not affect alpha receptors. Beta blockers do not have a diuretic effect. ACE inhibitors are in the class of drugs that affects angiotensin conversion.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C
Baseline blood glucose, blood pressure, and heart rate should be determined before initiating niacin therapy. Temperature and oxygen saturation levels are not necessary prior to administering niacin.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.

Single antifungals may not be enough to stop a fungal infection from causing the death of a patient.
