Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Dantrolene directly affects peripheral muscle contraction, and has become important in the management of spasticity associated with neuromuscular diseases. Baclofen, carisoprodol, and botulinum toxin type B are not the drugs of choice for management of spasticity in neuromuscular disease.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, D, E
Feedback:
Tissue injury is followed by exposure of plasma to the injured cell, which results in activation of Hageman's factor. This stimulates prekallikrein to become active kallikrein. Kininogen activates bradykinin. Arachidonic acid is released, which activates release of leukotrienes and prostaglandins.
