Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Stage 2, the excitement stage, is a period of excitement and often combative behavior, with many signs of sympathetic stimulation (e.g., tachycardia, increased respirations, blood pressure changes). Monitoring vital signs can be lifesaving at this stage. Eye care is important in stages 3 and 4 . Rubbing the patient's back and repositioning the patient are not indicated in this stage of anesthesia.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Palivizumab is specific to the antigenic site on respiratory syncytial virus (RSV); it inactivates that virus. It is used to prevent RSV disease in high-risk children. Natalizumab is an antibody specific to surface receptors on all leukocytes except neutrophils. Belimumab is a specific inhibitor of B-lymphocyte stimulator that inhibits the survival of B-lymphocytes and their differentiation into immune-globulin producing cells. Eculizumab binds to complement proteins and prevents the formation of the complement complex.
