Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The chemical name describes the chemical components such as molecular and anatomic structure of the drug. It is not the commonly used name when referencing the drug.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Biological sources include glands, body fluid, organs, fats, and living cells. Animal sources and insects are used to manufacture drugs. Plants provide us with gums, oils, and anatomic parts for drug bases. Mineral sources are common in the body. Chemical sources can be synthetic or semisynthetic.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
