Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Synthetic preparations of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), which are purer and have fewer adverse effects, are used to treat diabetes insipidus. Only one ADH preparation is currently available, desmopressin. Dexamethasone, methylprednisolone, and physostigmine would not be indicated for treatment of this disorder.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Drug treatment of asthma and COPD aims to relieve inflammation and promote bronchial dilation. The other options do not give the patient information about the use of these new medications.
