Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Bronchospasm can occur with beta blockade. The patient would not have to be observed for hypoglycemia, pleural effusion, or pneumonia.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The liver produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder. The bile is very important in the digestion of fats and is deposited into the small intestine when the gallbladder is stimulated to contract by the presence of fats. Glucagon is a hormone secreted in response to the presence of food in the bowel. Ammonia is a byproduct of the breakdown of protein and bilirubin is metabolized by the liver and stored to produce more red blood cells.
