Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Few adults obtain the booster immunization they need unless they are in the military, travel to foreign countries, or work in the food industry.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Antiglaucoma agents such as mydriatic cycloplegics block the action of acetylcholine. The sphincter of the iris is paralyzed, causing mydriasis, or abnormal dilation of the pupil, and the ciliary muscles are paralyzed, blocking accommodation and focus.
