Mrs. Landon has been diagnosed with coronary artery disease. Her cholesterol level is high, and the licensed practitioner advised her to get more exercise and follow a low-fat diet. At her follow-up appointment, however, the licensed practitioner tests her cholesterol level and it is still unacceptably high. Which of the following medications might you expect the licensed practitioner to prescribe to help lower her cholesterol? Multiple Choice RhoGAM Lasix Lipitor aspirin ibuprofen

1. An ACE inhibitor which produces an adverse effect of a dry, persistent cough. 2. An aldosterone receptor blocker which works by decreasing vasoconstriction and blocking aldosterone production. 3. A drug used for lowering serum cholesterol levels in conjunction with a low-fat diet. Elevated liver function tests (LFTs) are an adverse effect. 4. A cardiac glycoside with positive inotropic, negative chronotropic, and negative dromotropic properties. 5. The prototype of the class 1B antidysrhythmics. 6. A diuretic which is a first-line drug for HTN. 7. A relatively selective beta 1 blocker which causes rebound tachycardia when discontinued abruptly. 8. A potassium-sparing diuretic that works by blocking aldosterone. 9. A diuretic that works by increasing osmotic pressure. 10. An IV drug that mimics the activity of BNP. 11. An IV-only direct vasodilator which metabolizes to thiocyanate. 12. A beta blocker which blocks alpha-1 receptors in addition to beta 1 and beta 2 receptors. 13. A diuretic which works in the ascending loop of Henle. 14. A calcium channel blocker used for atrial dysrhythmias. 15. An alpha-1 blocker which causes orthostatic hypotension as an adverse effect. _____ furosemide (Lasix) _____ digoxin (Lanoxin) _____ hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) (Microzide) _____ prazosin (Minipress) _____ nitroprusside (Nipride) _____ lisinopril (Prinivil) _____ losartan (Cozaar) _____ carvedilol (Coreg) _____ lovastatin (Mevacor) _____ mannitol _____ metoprolol (Lopressor) _____ nesiritide (Natrecor) _____ spironolactone (Aldactone) _____ diltiazem (Cardizem) _____ lidocaine

Test the given claim. Lipitor is the trade name of the drug atorvastatin, which is used to reduce cholesterol in patients. (This is the largest-selling drug in the world, with $\$ 13$ billion in sales for a recent year) Adverse reactions have been studied in clinical trials, and the table below summarizes results for infections in patients from different treatment groups (based on data from Parke-Davis). Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that getting an infection is independent of the treatment. Does the atorvastatin treatment appear to have an effect on infections? (TABLE CAN'T COPY)
