Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Alpha-adrenergic agonists cause mydriasis, which increases sensitivity to light. Beta-adrenergic blockers cause miosis, which impairs vision in the dark. Cholinergic agonists and cholinesterase inhibitors may cause myopia and will impair vision in the dark.

Answer to Question 2

Thanks for the answer, I sent you a forum message for another one.

Answer to Question 3

ANS: C
Mylicon is a brand-name simethicone, which is an anti-gas agent. Maalox Gas contains simethicone, while regular Maalox does not. The other products do not contain simethicone.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
