Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The pons and medulla oblongata are in the hindbrain and control basic, vital functions, such as the respiratory centers, which control breathing; the cardiovascular centers, which regulate blood pressure; the chemoreceptor trigger zone and emetic zone, which control vomiting; and the swallowing center, which coordinates the complex swallowing reflex. Therefore, options B, C, and D are incorrect.

Children should not receive more than 2,000 mg/d whereas adults should not receive more than 2,550 mg/d. The normal dosage for children is 500 mg/d and for adults is 500 to 850 mg/d.
