Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Bromocriptine-therapy patients had improved HbA1c levels, showing better glycemic control, and were less likely to have a heart attack or stroke or to die of heart disease. All drugs have adverse effects. Taking the medication four times a day and the need for long-term studies are not advantages of the drug.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Although the SNS is associated with the stress reaction and expenditure of energy, the parasympathetic nervous system is associated with activities that help the body to store or conserve energy, a rest-and-digest response.
