Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Opium derivatives, like paregoric, are associated with light-headedness, sedation, euphoria, hallucinations, and respiratory depression related to their effect on opioid receptors. Nonopioids such as bismuth subsalicylate and loperamide would not cause respiratory depression. Colace is a stool softener, not an antidiarrheal.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The hypothalamus causes the secretion of ACTH, leading to a release of the adrenal hormones including cortisol, which suppresses the immune and inflammatory reactions to preserve energy that otherwise, might be used by these activities. The hypothalamus does not have a role in controlling voluntary movement. The adrenal glands secrete norepinephrine. Red blood cells are produced in the bone marrow and are stimulated to produce the cells by epoetin secreted by the kidney.
