Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
During a biological attack one should: move away quickly; wash with soap and water; contact authorities; listen to the media for official instructions; and seek medical attention if you become sick. If a chemical attack were occurring, the first action would be to close doors and windows. In the case of a biological attack, one should move quickly away from the area. A family emergency plan should be developed well in advance of a biological attack. Unless directed by the authorities, it should not be necessary in any type of an attack to keep a written record of everything that is eaten.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Methamphetamine appears to damage the brain in ways that are different from, and more severe than, damage from using other drugs. Currently, there is a rudimentary understanding of ways it affects the brain, but it is known that profound neurological changes occur even with first administration. Methamphetamine is highly combustible, and makers have suffered severe burns when manufacturing it. The pleasurable effects of methamphetamine leads to users having increased energy, a sense of euphoria, and increased productivity. However, it also causes an increased heart rate, insomnia, excessive talking, excitation, aggressive behaviors, anxiety, convulsions, paranoia, and brain damage. Prolonged use results in tolerance and physiological dependence. Because of the physiological dependence, users may feel powerless in having a choice in whether they use the drug or not. Its increased popularity is related to it appearing in mass quantities because of the ease in which fertilizer anhydrous ammonia can be converted to methamphetamine.
