Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, D, E
Mood changes have been observed as adverse effects of using performance-enhancing substances, including aggressiveness, changes in libido, depression, anxiety, and psychosis. Fluid retention, not dehydration, and hypertension, not hypotension, are adverse effects of performance-enhancing substances.

Answer to Question 2

ANS:
125

The correct calculation is:

55 lb/2.2 kg = 25 kg

Dose of Azulfidine is 5 mg/kg

5 mg  25 = 125 mg
