Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Glucocorticoids are indicated for the short-term treatment of many inflammatory disorders, to relieve discomfort, and to give the body a chance to heal from the effects of inflammation. They block the actions of arachidonic acid, which leads to a decrease in the formation of prostaglandins and leukotrienes. Without these chemicals, the normal inflammatory reaction is blocked. Hypoglycemia would more safely be treated with glucose. Appendicitis and septicemia are infections that would contraindicate the use of glucocorticoids because of the immunosuppressant effects of the drugs.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
0.1 to 0.2 mg is given IV and then repeated every 2 to 3 minutes for reversal of opioid effects. If the patient has overdosed on opioids the dose would be 0.4 to 2 mg every 2 to 3 minutes. The other options are incorrect.

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved. Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.
