Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Nitroglycerin acts within 1 to 3 minutes. Other options are incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, D, E
Feedback:
Intranasal administration of hydrocortisone can result in headache, nausea, nasal irritation, fungal infections, epistaxis, rebound congestion, perforation of the nasal septum, anosmia, and urticaria. Systemically administered hydrocortisone has many possible adverse effects including impaired wound healing and hypotension, but these would not be likely to be associated with intranasal administration of hydrocortisone.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
