Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, D, E
Beclomethasone, fluticasone, flunisolide, and budesonide are drugs used to reduce sneezing, nasal itching, stuffiness, and rhinorrhea. Prednisone is not used to treat these symptoms.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B
A 24-year-old woman with allergic rhinitis and an 18-year-old man with cold symptoms should be able to take an alpha-adrenergic decongestant safely. Alpha-adrenergic decongestants will stimulate alpha receptors throughout the body. Therefore, oral therapy should be prescribed with caution in patients with a history of cardiac disease, intraocular pressure, or prostatic hypertrophy.
