Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Physostigmine can be used as an antidote for atropine poisoning. A slow intravenous injection of 0.5 to 4 mg (depending on the weight of the patient and the severity of the symptoms) usually reverses the delirium and coma of atropine toxicity. Physostigmine is metabolized rapidly, so the injection may need to be repeated every 1 to 2 hours until the atropine has been cleared from the system.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Gas exchange occurs across the respiratory membrane in the alveolar sac. It does not occur in the bronchioles, the trachea, or the nares.
