Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C
Sudden onset of muscular weakness, inability to swallow or speak, and sudden respiratory dis-tress are all symptoms characteristic of myasthenic crisis, whereas the other symptoms are char-acteristic of cholinergic crisis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The use of dopaminergic drugs, such as levodopa, is contraindicated in patients with nar-row-angle glaucoma, blood dyscrasias, uncontrolled hypertension, who are concurrently using monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), or who have hypersensitivity to the drug or its ingredi-ents. Levodopa should also not be used in patients with history of malignant melanoma.

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.
