Answer to Question 1

C
Frequent swallowing indicates bleeding that is trickling down the back of the throat. Feeling cold and chilly is a common symptom with surgery and is related to anesthetic and the cool surgical environment. Nausea may be experienced by some patients due to anesthetic. Drainage from the nose is expected.

Answer to Question 2

B
Sympathomimetic drugs such as dipivefrin are used to reduce intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous outflow. They can cause tachycardia and hypertension.
