Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

A
Muscarinic agonists are indicated to treat a patient with urinary retention.
Muscarinic agonists act on the heart to cause bradycardia, therefore they would not be indicated for a patient with a heart rate of 60/minute.
The use of a muscarinic agonist is contraindicated for patients with intestinal obstruction and for those recovering from recent surgery of the bowel.
Muscarinic agonists cause hypotension, therefore they would not be indicated for a patient with orthostatic hypotension.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
