Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Anticholinergic effects, including dry mouth, can result from the use of hydroxyzine. This drug is not associated with thrombocytopenia, palpitations, or hypertonicity.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Cushing's disease results in low bone density and impaired wound healing. It does not typically cause impaired hemostasis or neurovascular problems.
