Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Increased peristalsis causing frequent bowel movements is a response of the parasympathetic nervous system.
Rationale 2: Elevated liver enzymes are a sympathetic nervous system response.
Rationale 3: Pupils 8 mm and equal is a sympathetic nervous system response.
Rationale 4: A decrease in urine output is a sympathetic nervous system response.
Global Rationale: Increased peristalsis causing frequent bowel movements is a response of the parasympathetic nervous system. Elevated liver enzymes, pupils 8 mm and equal, and a decrease in urine output are all sympathetic nervous system responses.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: This is not true; most drugs are used to treat disorders of target organs.
Rationale 2: This is true; these drugs stimulate autonomic responses.
Rationale 3: This is not true; drugs influencing the release of neurotransmitters occurs at the preganglionic site.
Rationale 4: This is not true; drugs that decrease the degree of neurotransmitter synthesis inhibit autonomic responses.
Global Rationale: Drugs used to prevent the normal destruction of the neurotransmitter cause the neurotransmitter to remain in the synapse for a longer period of time is a true statement. The other statements are all false.
