Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Pituitary replacement drugs are proteins that would be destroyed by enzyme activity if taken orally; therefore they are administered parenterally or by inhalation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Use desmopressin cautiously in patients with fluid and electrolyte imbalances because of the risk of hyponatremia.
