Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Although immunotherapy is acceptable in the treatment of allergic rhinitis, its use in the treatment of asthma is not standardized and remains controversial. The role of immunotherapy in asthma is currently limited to patients with allergic asthma who are unable to achieve substantial relief of symptoms with avoidance measures and pharmacotherapy. It is hoped that future studies will define its role and efficacy more clearly.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Conditions that tend to decrease plasma levels of theophylline include cigarette smoking and the use of medications that increase hepatic clearance, such as phenobarbital.
