Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Corticosteroids are responsible for appetite stimulation. Corticosteroids cause mood elevation rather than mood depression. Corticosteroids do not cause, but reduce, spinal cord edema. Corticosteroids have an antiemetic activity and, therefore, are unlikely to cause unresolving emesis.
