Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Norepinephrine is made by adrenergic nerves using tyrosine from the diet. Therefore the other options are incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
New guidelines suggest that potential ingestion with poison should prompt an immediate call to the local poison control center and then follow their directions. An ambulance may not be needed and it may take too long to get an appointment with a health care provider. Induction of vomiting could be harmful and does not represent the best treatment.
