Jim is being treated for hypertension. Because he has a history of heart attack, the drug chosen is atenolol. Beta blockers treat hypertension by:
 
  1. Increasing heart rate to improve cardiac output
  2. Reducing vascular smooth muscle tone
  3. Increasing aldosterone-mediated volume activity
  4. Reducing aqueous humor production

Question 2

To reduce potential adverse effects, patients taking a peripherally acting alpha1 antagonist should do all of the following EXCEPT:
 
  1. Take the dose at bedtime
  2. Sit up slowly and dangle their feet before standing
  3. Monitor their blood pressure and skip a dose if the pressure is less than 120/80
  4. Weigh daily and report weight gain of greater than 2 pounds in one day
