Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Bromocriptine is indicated for use in patients with infertility associated with hyperprolactinemia and pituitary adenomas. Oligospermia, if caused by elevated prolactin levels, may also be treated with bromocriptine. Sperm count increases when elevated prolactin levels are corrected.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Tocolytics are given between 24 and 32 weeks' gestation to stop uterine contractions for 24 to 48 hours. This allows enough time to give corticosteroids to the mother, which hasten fetal lung maturation and reduce the incidence of respiratory distress in the newborn.
