Answer to Question 1

D
Explanation: A chemical thyroidectomy uses a large dose of radioactive iodine and is given in order to kill thyroid gland cells without actually having to do surgery. A lobectomy, laparoscopic adrenalectomy, and parathyroidectomy are all surgical procedures.

Answer to Question 2

D
Explanation: A cardiotonic is used to increase the force of cardiac muscle contractions. Diuretics are used to increase urine production. Antiarrhythmics reduce or prevent cardiac arrhythmias. Beta-blocker drugs treat hypertension and angina pectoris by lowering the heart rate.
