Answer to Question 1

prophylactic

Rationale: Prophylactic means before disease; therapeutic drugs are used after a disease has been diagnosed and are used for treatment. Diagnostic drugs help to define a medical problem. Cathartic is a medication used for the lower intestinal tract.

Answer to Question 2

Berylliosis

Rationale: Berylliosis is caused by inhalation of beryllium and is often seen in metal and ceramics workers.
