Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Montelukast prevents leukotrienes from binding to its receptors reducing the bronchoconstriction and ultimate inflammation caused by leukotrienes.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Aldesleukin (Proleukin) is used to treat metastatic kidney cancer but is contraindicated in patients with serious pulmonary impairment. Filgrastim is a colony-stimulating factor that is not used for the treatment of kidney cancer. Darbepoetin alfa is a hormone that stimulates the production of red blood cells by the bone marrow. Interferon alfa-2b (Intron A) is normally used to treat leukemia.
