Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
A patient who uses laxatives, such as saline laxatives, and suffers from anorexia nervosa will be prone to diarrhea. The patient who takes a saline laxative will not suffer from constipation. The patient who takes a saline laxative will not be at risk for bowel obstruction. The patient who takes a saline cathartic will be at risk for hypernatremia, not hyponatremia.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Inhaled corticosteroid agents suppress the release of inflammatory mediators, block the generations of cytokines, and decrease the recruitment of airway eosinophils. Inhaled corticosteroid agents do not depress the central nervous system. Inhaled corticosteroid agents do not affect bronchodilation or constriction.
