Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The newer, more beta-2-selective agents are safe and typically cause tremor as the main side ef-fect. Other common side effects with the inhaled agents include headache, insomnia, and nerv-ousness.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Long-acting beta agonists (LABAs), such as salmeterol, formoterol, arformoterol, indacaterol, and olodaterol, are indicated for maintaining bronchodilation and control of bronchospasm and nocturnal symptoms in asthma or other obstructive diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmo-nary disease (COPD).
