Answer to Question 1

B
The FDAAA was passed to enable the Food and Drug Administration to continue oversight of a drug after granting it approval so that changes in labeling could be made as necessary and post-marketing risks could be tracked and identified. A provision of the FDA Modernization Act (FDAMA), passed in 1997, allows drug companies to promote their products for off-label uses as long as they promise to conduct studies to support their claims. Regulations to permit accelerated approval of drugs for life-threatening diseases were adopted in 1992 by the FDA. The require-ment that drug companies notify patients 6 months before removing a drug from the market is a provision of the FDAMA.

Answer to Question 2

A
Local anesthetics can cross the placenta, causing bradycardia and central nervous system (CNS) depression in the infant. They do not affect blood glucose. Jitteriness is a sign of CNS excitation. Increased respirations are not an adverse effect in the newborn.
