Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Zafirlukast (Accolate) does not stimulate the sympathetic nervous system.
Rationale 2: Zafirlukast (Accolate) is ineffective for acute asthma attacks.
Rationale 3: Zafirlukast (Accolate) is not a bronchodilator.
Rationale 4: Zafirlukast (Accolate) prevents airway edema and inflammation by blocking leukotriene receptors in the airways.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: A side effect of isoproterenol (Isuprel) is hyperglycemia. A creatinine of 1.0 mg/dl is a normal creatinine level, and isoproterenol (Isuprel) is not nephrotoxic. A sodium of 160 is an elevated sodium level, but isoproterenol (Isuprel) does not cause hypernatremia. An AST of 20 units/L is a normal AST, and isoproterenol (Isuprel) is not hepatotoxic.
