Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Anticholinergics are contraindicated for use in patients with narrow-angle glaucoma.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Neuromuscular blockers such as tubocurarine are not sedatives or analgesics. They do not affect consciousness or pain perception. They are used most often to produce muscle relaxation during endotracheal intubation and surgical procedures, and to facilitate mechanical ventilation. Some drugs have been used as an adjunct during electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).

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.
