Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The gallbladder is not part of the endocrine system and does not secrete hormones. All other options are organs of the endocrine system.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Because nasal steroids block the inflammatory response, their use is contraindicated in the presence of acute infections. The most common reason they are prescribed is for the treatment of allergic rhinitis or to relieve inflammation after the removal of nasal polyps. Nasal steroids are not used for a sinus infection, an infection in the adenoids, or any other acute upper respiratory infection.
