Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) simply is the point at which a motor neuron communicates with a skeletal muscle fiber. The synapse and synaptic cleft are part of the NMJ. The afferent junction is a distracter for this question.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Alosetron (Lotronex) is approved for use in women with irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea being the predominant complaint and should be discontinued immediately if the patient develops constipation or symptoms of ischemic colitis. Patients must read and sign a patientphysician agreement before it can be prescribed. Options B, C, and D are not correct.
