Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Leuprolide is useful for the treatment of central precocious puberty in children. Menotropins (Pergonal) stimulates ovulation. Cosyntropin (Cortrosyn) stimulates the adrenal cortex to synthesize and secrete adrenocortical hormones. Thyrotropin alfa (Thyrogen) stimulates the secretion of thyroglobulin.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Preemptive analgesia is used to reduce postsurgical pain by simultaneously administering medications from different drug classes to suppress pain by blocking multiple pain pathways. It is not synonymous with PCA and does not require alternation between opioid agonists and antagonists.
