Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Drugs that prevent neurotransmitter reuptake stimulate autonomic responses to target organs or glands.
Rationale 2: Drugs that prevent the storage of neurotransmitters inhibit autonomic actions.
Rationale 3: Drugs that increase neurotransmitter synthesis stimulate autonomic responses to target organs or glands.
Rationale 4: Drugs that promote neurotransmitter release stimulate autonomic responses to target organs or glands.
Global Rationale: Drugs that prevent the storage of neurotransmitters inhibit autonomic actions. Drugs that prevent neurotransmitter reuptake stimulate autonomic responses to target organs or glands. Drugs that increase neurotransmitter synthesis stimulate autonomic responses to target organs or glands. Drugs that promote neurotransmitter release stimulate autonomic responses to target organs or glands.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Decreased peristalsis is a nicotinic response.
Rationale 2: Increased sweat production is a nicotinic response.
Rationale 3: A decrease in heart rateknown as bradycardiais a muscarinic response.
Rationale 4: Increased blood pressure is a nicotinic response.
Global Rationale: A decrease in heart rateknown as bradycardiais a muscarinic response. Decreased peristalsis, increased sweat production, and increased blood pressure are all nicotinic responses.
