Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
When the parasympathetic nervous system is stimulated, the result is increased GI motility, decreased GI secretions, decreased heart rate, and pupillary constriction, which all result from stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Metformin is the only oral antidiabetic drug approved for children. It has established dosage for children 10 years of age and older. With the increasing number of children being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, the use of other agents in children is being tested. Because metformin is the only drug approved for use with children, pioglitazone, repaglinide, and liraglutide would not be appropriate.
