Answer to Question 1

B, D, E
Feedback:
Adverse effects of dantrolene include drowsiness, dizziness, weakness, fatigue, diarrhea, hepatitis, myalgia, tachycardia, transient blood pressure changes, rash, and urinary frequency. Adverse effects of dantrolene do not include bradycardia or urinary retention.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Desmopressin produces its antidiuretic activity in the kidneys, causing the cortical and medullary parts of the collecting duct to become permeable to water, thereby increasing water reabsorption and decreasing urine formation. These activities reduce plasma osmolarity and increase blood volume.
