Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Drugs that are generally sympathomimetic are called alpha-agonists (stimulate alpha-receptors) and beta-agonists (stimulate beta-receptors). These agonists stimulate all of the adrenergic receptors; that is they affect both alpha and beta-receptors.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Patients receiving ondansetron (Zofran) most commonly experience headache, dizziness, and myalgia. There may also be pain at the injection site, rash, constipation, hypotension, and urinary retention. Options A, B, and D are not correct.
