Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Inhalers should be shaken well, immediately before each use. It would not be appropriate to teach the patient to hold his breath when administering a puff, to take three short quick puffs when administering the inhaler, or that a second aerosol medication should not be administered until 30 minutes after the first dose of aerosol medication.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Histrelin (Vantas) is used to provide palliative treatment for advanced prostate cancer. Nafarelin (Synarel) is used for treatment of endometriosis and precocious puberty; Ganirelix (Antagon) is used for inhibition of premature luteinizing hormone surge in women undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation as part of a fertility program; Somatropin (Nutropin) is used for treatment of children with growth failure due to lack of growth hormone or to chronic renal failure.
