Answer to Question 1

4
Skeletal muscle is voluntary. Cardiac and smooth muscles are involuntary. Skeletal muscle is not normally convulsive in nature.

Answer to Question 2

1, 4, 5, 6
Potentially nephrotoxic drugs are amikacin, gentamicin, amphotericin B, sulfonamides, tobramycin, vancomycin, chemotherapeutic agents, contrast medium, ethylene glycol, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), gold, and other heavy metals. Chloroquine and Erythromycin are not nephrotoxic medications.
