Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, D
Anticholinergic medications cause dryness of mucous membranes. Increasing fluids, sucking on candy or ice chips, or chewing gum helps alleviate the dryness of the mouth, nose, and throat. Taking the medication with meals and decreasing fiber in the diet will not help patients cope with the adverse effects. Anticholinergics do not affect blood glucose levels.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, E, F
The CNS is composed of systems of different types of neurons that secrete separate neurotransmitters. Gamma aminobutyric acid, acetylcholine, serotonin, histamine, and epinephrine are examples. Glucose is a sugar that is the body's main source of energy.
