Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Pyridostigmine has been approved for use by military personnel who have been exposed to particular nerve gases. Neostigmine, ambenonium, and edrophonium are not approved for this use.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The pulse pressure is the difference between systolic and diastolic pressure. The systolic pressure is usually 40 points greater than the diastolic pressure. A pulse pressure of over 50 points or less than 30 points is considered abnormal. This patient's pulse pressure is 42 (120 minus 78).
