Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4

Rationale 1: Pulse rate is a good indicator of the effectiveness of thyroid medications.
Rationale 2: Pulse rate is a good indicator of the effectiveness of thyroid medications.
Rationale 3: Pulse rate is a good indicator of the effectiveness of thyroid medications.
Rationale 4: Pulse rate is a good indicator of the effectiveness of thyroid medications.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

Rationale 1: The outer cortex of the adrenal gland releases three important classes of hormones, called mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, and androgens.
Rationale 2: The thyroid gland is incorrect because these are released by the adrenal gland.
Rationale 3: The pituitary gland is incorrect because these are released by the adrenal gland.
Rationale 4: The pancreas is incorrect because these are released by the adrenal gland.

Global Rationale: The thyroid gland, pituitary gland, and the pancreas are all incorrect. The outer cortex of the adrenal gland releases three important classes of hormones, called mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, and androgens.
