Answer to Question 1

C
Neuromuscular blocking agents relax skeletal muscle to produce flaccid paralysis; the first mus-cles to be affected are the levator muscle of the eyelids and the muscles of mastication. These agents do not affect the CNS. Because the drug has just taken effect, a toxic dose is not yet a concern. Mechanical ventilation is necessary when the drug affects the intercostal muscles and the diaphragm, interfering with respiration.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D
Anticholinergic drugs, glucocorticoids, and LABAs are used to treat COPD. Leukotriene mod-ifiers and monoclonal antibodies are used only to treat asthma.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
