Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Ipratropium bromide is an anticholinergic that is indicated for allergic rhinitis, asthma, and the common cold. The drug reduces rhinorrhea.
Ipratropium bromide is an anticholinergic.
In addition to asthma, ipratropium bromide can be used for allergic rhinitis and the common cold.
Ipratropium bromide can be used for allergic rhinitis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Because of the potential for rebound nasal congestion, topical application should be limited to 3 to 5 days.
With topical administration, vasoconstriction is rapid and intense, leading to a quick reduction in nasal congestion.
Rebound nasal congestion can occur if the drug is used for longer than 5 days, therefore the drug should not be continued until the problem resolves.
Topical sympathomimetics are not contraindicated if a patient has a fever.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
