Answer to Question 1

1, 3, 4
Anti-glomerular basement membrane disease must include the three characteristics of proliferative glomerulonephritis, pulmonary hemorrhage, and the presence of anti-GBM antibodies. Sinus infection is an assessment finding of Wegener's granulomatosis. Increased heart rate and rapidly dropping blood pressure are not characteristics of this disorder.

Answer to Question 2

4
Sandostatin is used for residual growth hormone hypersecretion following surgery. Cortone is used to treat adrenocorticotropic dysfunction, and Dostinex is used to treat hyperprolactinemia.
