Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The adrenal cortex responds to ACTH released from the anterior pituitary. ACTH, in turn, responds to CRH released from the hypothalamus. This happens regularly during a normal day in what is called diurnal rhythm. Pituitary rhythm is a distracter; the term does not exist. The hypothalamicpituita ry axis involves the interaction between the two glands. Circadian rhythm involves when people prefer to be most active, such as people who say they are morning people.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C
Feedback:
Ask the patient if the tablet fizzles or burns, which indicates potency. Always check the expiration date on the bottle and protect the medication from heat and light because these drugs are volatile and lose potency easily.
