HCC II Exam 4 Questions With Complete Solutions
Amlodipine Correct Answer calcium channel blocker,
decreases heart rate, contractility, afterload, and decrease o2
demand
SE - peripheral edema, hypotension, constipation
Angina Chest Pain Correct Answer precipitated by
exertion/stress, relieved by rest/nitro, last <15 min, no GI sx,
dyspnea, anxiety, diaphoresis, CAD
