Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
After the ovum is fertilized and implants itself in the uterine wall, human chorionic gonadotropin is produced by the junction of the fertilized embryo with the uterine wall. ACTH and GH are not involved with his process. The release of prolactin helps with milk production for the delivered fetus.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Prochlorperazine is an antiemetic that can cause dizziness and drowsiness. A patient who is taking it should be advised not to drive or undertake dangerous activities if these adverse effects occur. The drug does not cause heat loss or inability to sweat that may lead to heat stroke. This drug should not affect blood pressure, so there is no need to test for it.
