Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Peristalsis is the basic movement of the esophagus. The large intestine uses mass movement, the stomach uses churning, and the small intestine uses segmentation.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Sublingual nitroglycerin may be taken at 5-minute intervals up to a maximum of three doses to relieve anginal chest pain. Headaches are very common due to vasodilation and do not indicate a toxic level. Nitroglycerin causes significant peripheral vasodilation in addition to its therapeutic effects of coronary artery dilation so no more than three tablets should be taken, even though it is not habit forming. Dizziness could be an adverse effect of the drug or a manifestation of inadequate cardiac output, but it would not indicate the patient should stop taking it.

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved. Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.
