Answer to Question 1

C
Neuromuscular blocking agents relax skeletal muscle to produce flaccid paralysis; the first mus-cles to be affected are the levator muscle of the eyelids and the muscles of mastication. These agents do not affect the CNS. Because the drug has just taken effect, a toxic dose is not yet a concern. Mechanical ventilation is necessary when the drug affects the intercostal muscles and the diaphragm, interfering with respiration.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D
Anticholinergic drugs, glucocorticoids, and LABAs are used to treat COPD. Leukotriene mod-ifiers and monoclonal antibodies are used only to treat asthma.
