Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: Severe hypotension, known as first-dose phenomenon, can occur after the initial administration of enalapril (Vasotec). Ototoxicity is an adverse effect of loop diuretics. StevensJohnson syndrome is an adverse effect of beta blockers. Irregular pulse is an adverse effect of beta blockers.
