Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
This medication is used to diagnose myasthenia gravis; the patient receives the medication and is observed for an improvement in symptoms.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Owing to its sedative and side effects, carisoprodol (Soma) is usually taken no more than 3 weeks for treatment of acute spasms. To prevent gastrointestinal side effects, carisoprodol should be taken with food. Carisoprodol should not be abruptly discontinued, as it can cause rebound spasms. An adverse reaction to the medication can be indicated by tachycardia.
