Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
These drugs are irreversible anticholinesterase agents. The goal of treatment, such as atropine administration, is to restore normal function of anticholinesterase and rid synapses of excessive acetylcholine.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The female patient should have a negative pregnancy test before beginning retinoid therapy. It is not necessary to have a negative throat culture or skin culture. If the patient has a positive stool for occult blood, the cause should be determined but is not affected by retinoid therapy.
