Answer to Question 1

ANS: D, E
Marijuana, used with the frequency described, increases sensitivity to visual stimuli and relaxation. It also increases the appetite and enjoyment of food.
When used with the frequency described, marijuana increases, not decreases, the enjoyment of food.
When used with the frequency described, marijuana does not increase interpersonal interactions, nor does it enhance the ability to perceive the emotions of others, and it may even cause indifference.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, E, F
The physiologic effects of nicotine include increased blood pressure and other cardiovascular effects, vomiting, increased alertness, and suppression of appetite.
Decreased gastric acid and suppression of nausea are not physiologic responses associated with nicotine use.

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.
