Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Specifically related to chemical stimulants, cascara, although a reliable agent, may have a either slow, steady action or may cause severe cramping and rapid evacuation of the contents of the large intestine. Bisacodyl and castor oil do not have potential adverse effect. Bismuth salts are an antidiarrheal.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The goose flesh or hair standing on end reaction that occurs as part of the stress response is called piloerection. Diaphoresis refers to sweating. Diuresis is the loss of water through the kidneys. Vasoconstriction is a muscle contraction in the blood vessel leading to blood vessel narrowing.
