Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Health care providers use bismuth subsalicylate to coat ulcers, protecting them from stomach acid to treat H. pylori. Bismuth does not increase pepsin activity, decrease gastrin secretion, or prevent metabolic alkalosis.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Desmopressin acetate (DDAVP, Stimate) is the prototype posterior pituitary hormone medication. It is used to treat diabetes insipidus. Consequently, reduced urine output is the primary goal of treatment. The drug does not influence growth or ovulation.
