Answer to Question 1

B
Nicotine increases alertness, facilitates memory, and improves cognition. Even though users re-port feeling relaxed when using nicotine, it actually increases arousal and does not cause relaxa-tion. Nicotine elevates blood pressure. Nicotine causes the gastrointestinal (GI) side effects of nausea, vomiting, and increased motility.

Answer to Question 2

C
Glargine insulin is indicated for once daily subcutaneous administration to treat adults and children with type 1 diabetes and adults with type 2 diabetes. According to the package labeling, the once-daily injection should be given at bedtime. Glargine insulin should not be given more than once a day, although some patients require bid dosing to achieve a full 24 hours of basal coverage.
