Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Seasonal rhinitis is an inflammation of the nasal cavity; it occurs when the upper airways respond to a specific antigen such as pollen, mold, or dust. Cystic fibrosis, atelectasis, and ARDS are not associated with an allergic response.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Atropine can be used to cause dilated pupils, which is mydriasis resulting in cycloplegia, which is the inability of the lens of the eye to accommodate leading to blurred vision.
