Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 3, 5

Rationale 1: Beta-adrenergic blockers, alpha2-adrenergic agents, carbonic anhydraseinhibitors, and osmotic diuretics are drug classes that decrease the formation of aqueous humor.
Rationale 2: Beta-adrenergic blockers, alpha2-adrenergic agents, carbonic anhydraseinhibitors, and osmotic diuretics are drug classes that decrease the formation of aqueous humor.
Rationale 3: Beta-adrenergic blockers, alpha2-adrenergic agents, carbonic anhydraseinhibitors, and osmotic diuretics are drug classes that decrease the formation of aqueous humor.
Rationale 4: Prostaglandins increase the outflow of aqueous humor.
Rationale 5: Beta-adrenergic blockers, alpha2-adrenergic agents, carbonic anhydraseinhibitors, and osmotic diuretics are drug classes that decrease the formation of aqueous humor.

Global Rationale: Beta-adrenergic blockers, alpha2-adrenergic agents, carbonic anhydraseinhibitors, and osmotic diuretics are drug classes that decrease the formation of aqueous humor. Prostaglandins increase the outflow of aqueous humor.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3,

Rationale 1: Drugs increasing the outflow of aqueous humor include miotics, sympathomimetics, and prostaglandins.
Rationale 2: Drugs increasing the outflow of aqueous humor include miotics, sympathomimetics, and prostaglandins.
Rationale 3: Drugs increasing the outflow of aqueous humor include miotics, sympathomimetics, and prostaglandins.
Rationale 4: Beta blockers do not decrease the formation of aqueous humor.
Rationale 5:Calcium channel blockers do not decrease the formation of aqueous humor.

Global Rationale: Drugs increasing the outflow of aqueous humor include miotics, sympathomimetics, and prostaglandins.
