Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: Atropine is an anticholinergic drug that will reverse the symptoms of acetylcholine overstimulation. Hydroxyzine (Vistaril), acetate of ammonia, and apomorphine will not reverse the symptoms of acetylcholine overstimulation.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: The immediate symptoms of radiation sickness include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Weight loss and fatigue are late symptoms of radiation sickness. Anorexia and fatigue are not signs of radiation sickness. Dilated pupils and aggression are not signs of radiation sickness.
