Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, E, F
Triggers of an acute asthma attack can include factors such as experiencing menses, taking aspi-rin, drinking milk, or being exposed to wood and vegetable dusts or house-dust mites. The inges-tion of carbonated water or tomatoes is not known to be a trigger for an asthma attack.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Antiallergy drugs (previously known as mast cell stabilizers) are approved only for asthma prophylaxis; they allow for reduced dosages of corticosteroids and bronchodilators. These drugs are effective for patients with mild persistent asthma, including allergic asthma and asthma in-duced by exercise, cold air, and sulfur dioxide.
