Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The anterior pituitary hormones are released in a rhythmic manner into the bloodstream. Their secretion varies with time of day (often referred to as diurnal rhythm) or with physiological conditions, such as exercise or sleep. A biannual rhythm would be twice a year. Circadian rhythm is indicated by when the patient prefers to sleep or wake, such as those who describe themselves as morning people. There is no such thing as a physiological rhythm.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Codeine is a CNS depressant and should not be combined with driving or heavy machinery activities. Antitussives are not intended to be taken with every coughing episode because the patient may overdose on the medication. The medication usually makes the patient drowsy rather than nervous and anxious. Codeine may cause GI upset, although it is usually constipating; some patients may complain of nausea and stomach distress while taking this medication.
