Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Balsalazide is delivered intact to the colon, where it delivers a local anti-inflammatory effect that is most effective for patients with ulcerative colitis. Choline salicylate and salsalate are used to treat pain, fever, and inflammation. Sodium thiosalicylate is used mainly for episodes of acute gout, for muscular pain, and to treat rheumatic fever.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
ADH possesses antidiuretic, hemostatic, and vasopressor properties. During hemorrhage, GH, FSH and ACTH are not involved in blood volume restoration.
