Answer to Question 1

A
Patients who develop tolerance to opioids will develop tolerance to its analgesic, euphoric, and sedative effects and will also develop tolerance to respiratory depression. Very little tolerance develops to constipation.

Answer to Question 2

D
Inhaled glucocorticoids are used daily to prevent acute attacks. They are not used PRN. The be-ta2-adrenergic agonist drugs should not be used daily; they are used to treat symptoms as needed. They do not suppress mediators of inflammation.
