Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Bland aerosols are therefore more properly considered expectorants rather than mucolytic agents.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Other side effects that can occur include the following:
 Airway obstruction due to rapid liquefaction of secretions
 Disagreeable odor due to hydrogen sulfide
 Incompatibility with certain antibiotics (sodium ampicillin, amphotericin B, erythromycin, tet-racyclines, and aminoglycosides) if mixed in solution
 Increased concentration and toxicity of nebulizer solution toward end of treatment
 Nausea and rhinorrhea
 Stomatitis
 Reactivity of acetylcysteine with rubber, copper, iron, and cork
