Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Terbutaline is indicated to delay preterm labor by activating beta2 receptors in the uterus, relaxing the uterine muscles and preventing contractions.
Isoproterenol is not indicated for use in a patient with preterm labor.
Dopamine is not indicated for use in a patient with preterm labor.
Phenylephrine is not indicated for use in a patient with preterm labor.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Activation of alpha1 receptors causes elevation of blood pressure, mydriasis (dilated pupils), and vasoconstriction.
Activation of alpha1 receptors does not result in vasodilation, pupil constriction, or bleeding.
