Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Nesiritide is the only drug currently available in a class of drugs called human B-type natriuretic peptides. Digoxin is a cardiac glycoside. Milrinone is a phosphodiesterase inhibitor. Bosentan is an endothelin receptor antagonist.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
A negative feedback system works much like the law of supply and demand in business. In business, when the supply of a product is adequate, production of that product will be cut back because demand is not there. Other options are distracters for this question.
