Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Patients needing step 1 management have intermittent, mild symptoms and can be managed with a SABA as needed. Combination inhaled glucocorticoids/LABAs are used for step 3 management. Inhaled low-dose glucocorticoids are used for step 2 management. LABAs, along with inhaled glucocorticoids, are used for step 3 management.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D
Glucocorticoids act by reducing bronchial hyperreactivity and airway edema and increasing airway responsiveness to beta2-adrenergic agonists. They do not reduce the number of beta2-adrenergic agonist receptors. They help reduce the synthesis of inflammatory mediators.
