Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Nicotine increases the metabolism of xanthines in the liver so that xanthine dosage must be increased in patients who continue to smoke while using xanthines. In addition, extreme caution must be used if the patient decides to decrease or discontinue smoking because severe xanthine toxicity can occur. Bronchoconstriction is not caused by using insulin and anti-inflammatory drugs do not cause bronchoconstriction . Exercise with a physician's supervision is encouraged in individuals with asthma.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Drugs often used for off-label indications include the drugs used to treat various psychiatric problems. Drugs used to treat GI, cardiovascular, or musculoskeletal problems do not fall in the category of frequent off-label uses.
