Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Immunosuppressant agents are used for inflammatory autoimmune disorders or to prevent or treat tissue rejection reactions in organ transplantation. Immunosuppressant agents are not administered for seizure disorders, increased intracranial pressure, or HIV/AIDS.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Caucasian Americans and African Americans are poor metabolizers of medication compared with Asian Americans; Asian Americans have the ability to metabolize and excrete medications more quickly than those of Caucasian and African descent. This often means that Asian Americans require lower doses.
