Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Anticholinergics are contraindicated for use in patients with narrow-angle glaucoma.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Neuromuscular blockers such as tubocurarine are not sedatives or analgesics. They do not affect consciousness or pain perception. They are used most often to produce muscle relaxation during endotracheal intubation and surgical procedures, and to facilitate mechanical ventilation. Some drugs have been used as an adjunct during electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).
