Atenolol
Enalapril
HCTZ
Torsemide
Verapamil
A

Answer: Enalapril

ACE-I

34

Terazosin
Verapamil
Atenolol
Enalapril
A

Terazosin is an alpha 1 adrenergic agonist that decreases arteriole and venous resistance

35
Q

A 52-year-old man comes to the physician because of a substantial increase in the size of his breasts over the past two months. He has a longstanding history of hypertension and congestive heart failure. Which of the following best describes the mechanism of action of the drug most likely responsible for the increase in the size of the breasts in this patient?
A. Antagonizes collecting tubule aldosterone receptors
