Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Access to consumer advertising, mass media health reports, and the Internet influence some patients to request specific treatments, to question therapy, and to challenge the health care provider. Consumers do not generally read research reports from medical facilities and contact drug companies to see what their reports say, and they cannot self-medicate because many of these drugs require a prescription to obtain them.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Adrenergic agents stimulate beta1-adrenergic receptors in the heart as well as beta2-adrenergic receptors in the lungs. Adrenergic agents do not cause polydipsia, hypotension, or diarrhea.
