Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Escherichia coli is the most common cause of traveler's diarrhea. Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, and Pseudomonas would be highly unlikely to grow in the stool of a patient with traveler's diarrhea.

Answer to Question 2

A, D, E
Feedback:
Stimulation of nicotinic receptors causes muscle contractions, autonomic responses such as signs and symptoms of a stress reaction, and release of norepinephrine and epinephrine from the adrenal medulla. Stimulation of muscarinic receptors causes pupil constriction, increased gastrointestinal (GI) motility and secretions (including saliva), increased urinary bladder contraction, and a slowing of the heart rate.
